Want to see what Pam sees every day?

And the lesson I take away from this is that the red truck filming the whole thing was at a nice safe following distance, so he/she had plenty of time to avoid the whole mess.

High speed traffic without the appropriate following distance is just one idiot away from a disaster. Moron does something stupid and there is no room for the other drivers to avoid.

Idiots shouldn't be. But that's never gonna happen.

So when traffic gets more dense, it needs to slow down so the smaller following distances are appropriate for the speed.

edit: Our red truck is 4 seconds behind the burning truck. 3 seconds should be the minimum, but 4 seconds is even better.
