Umm u know this post is nothing to be proud of right? You admitted to not paying attention and then getting out of your vehicle at a light and confronting someone you don't know. :doh:
What's your problem with Jesus:shrug:
Mobile devices...Wait was this in South Florida (Miami) Because here it happens all the time and not just guys in sports cars - minivans and even Prius. We have to treat every intersection with a traffic light like a 4 way stop.
I lost my father last year because of some idiot in a minivan ran a red light and t-boned my fathers car, my mother included in the accident but survived. I spent three weeks in ICU with my father until he passed away.
Glad to hear you survived your ordeal. Just treat them like 4-way stops from now on. People are driving crazy these days.
If you're stopping from 130 in traffic you've got other issues. Kind of irrelevant factoid. From 60-0 or 70-0 the limiting factor is tires. Put the PP tires on the base and you'd have just as good of stopping distance, at least on the first stop, maybe two. After that the brembos would be quite a bit better.
Maybe he meant KPH...?
Why are the abs getting all the credit?? You have to give some props to the quads and calves too. You need those to stand on the brake pedal.
You wrote that from behind the wheel, didn't you!
Now I know why one of the first things you learn at an HPDE or similar event is "both feet in". It's almost second nature now that when I slam on the brakes I also clutch in, sometimes without even realizing.
I was paying attention, his brake lights were out and with the time of day it was, it was hard to tell he was stopping.
