    Default Always keep your eyes on the road

    So today while driving home from work I almost blew out a tire. What woulda been worse is its not my car but a loaner while mine was in the shop. At least I had room to get out of its way however the lane next to me I saw someone get nailed hard [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cyo556m6mE]YouTube - Trash on highway[/ame]

    You almost ended up like I did. Only my blowouts were from a 4x4 fence post around 11PM and I was doing 75-80 mph. I was running a camera but it got knocked off of the mount and hit the floor shutting off and corrupting the video because it didn't finish recording and shut off prematurely.

    Lol. This reminds me of a similar situation, which caused problems recently on one of my state's local highways. A brace on a bridge came up out of the road, which caused 15+ drivers to get flat tires. It made the local news lol.

    X2 good following distance will make the difference. It's highly underrated
