Moral of story: if you're driving a small car - look before you pull into traffic!

fur peas ache!

jeez

(I'm betting the Morgan driver hoped he could outrun that car. He races across the first driving lane and divider all at once, never hesitating, then continues right into the traffic lane. He sure gooses the gas pedal fast as the following car approaches. And it looks to me that the following car's brake lights *were* on.)

Good advice and I think that would apply regardless of what size vehicle you are driving. Oh and keep your seat belts fastened at all times!
 
I think that the show organisers should have the local Polce
slow traffic down at that intersection,as it appeared,to me,that the traffic
was going at highway speeds.
Of course,some times you can't fix Stupid.
 
I know of two incidents where the car that was struck from behind was held at fault. One involved a friend driving his Volvo on a Vermont country road when a farmer turned his pickup truck into the roadway without looking and my friend tried to stop but hit the pickup in the rear. The second involved the son of a client who was entering the entrance ramp of I-95 when a woman inexplicably stopped short in front of him and he was unable to avoid striking her.

A number of years ago someone stopped rather abruptly in front of us - we stopped in time, the truck behind us didn't. The truck driver got a ticket but, the inurance company went after the person who stopped in the first place - and, I think, won. The first driver stopped to throw a piece of concrete out of the car onto the median. AND the investigating cop recognized the plate number as someone who he had ticketed the week previously - and who gave the cop grief. He was very happy to pay a visit even though we couldn't actually ID the driver.
