No, the driver that kept up the speed and then jumped out at the last second *deliberately* took actions that set up the accident. He/she could have slowed down like normal and then come to a stop but he/she took an action that was designed to cause an accident, and deliberately involved an innocent party. "Not necessarily right" is absolutely no way to describe such selfish ass-hattery as that.
Nah, if the front car slowed down or stopped normally they would have been rear ended.
I think my drivers ed teacher back in like 83' told us to keep a 2 second distance between me and the car in front. I'm sure it's been revised a hundred times since. I mean we never had cell phones back then as a distraction so I guess it made sense at the time
Yeah I remember that, you'd use a sign or landmark and count the seconds when the first car passes it and stop counting when your vehicle passes it. I think the acceptable count depends on how fast you're going.
