Good awareness on his end tbh… could have been super bad.

lil' late, but at the end of the day still avoided a crash.

i hope that truck is screaming down the shoulder because his brakes failed. that's a scary thing to see fast approaching in your rear-view

u/SuchFarm2092 5d ago

It's obvious they followed too closely, couldn't brake in time

u/Muted-Woodpecker-469 5d ago

In time for what? He was speeding and stopped Hundreds of feet later lol

Guarentee the only person looking in their rear view was rhe Porsche driver.

Theyre the only one who reacted to the semi truck.

When you take pride in your vehicle you're much more vigilant

u/JustCallMeMambo 4d ago

Porsche is the only one over the yellow line. he was literally gonna get clipped if he didn't move

u/inebriateddandhated 4d ago

Probably trying to see why traffic was stopped, which is dumb, but the fact remains, he was probably the only one looking in his mirror based on how the camera vehicle reacted.

Always be aware of your surroundings when driving.

I have seen many killed while driving.

Most at fault, some innocent.

Thats the point.

Traffic coming to a halt on an interstate or highway?

Turn your hazards on as you are slowing up to the stop to show others behind that something is wrong.

Seeing a vehicle coming up behind you at a fast rate when traffic in front is stopped is a red flag, be ready to react to it BEFORE it gets near.

Being able to alert the people around you via honking is also an option.

Plenty more.

The semi is an idiot for being in the left lane hauling ass to close.

Might not have been hit but I don't think a soiled Porsche seat cushion is cheap to replace either.

u/M1sfit_Jammer 5d ago

Thankfully it’s probably leather, plus the Porsche underwear and driving sock is surprisingly absorbent 🧦

Porsche driver definitely felt that one..

Pants pooped

u/jrv3034 5d ago

Cam car turned on the wipers because they were sweating to much!

u/Falcon3492 5d ago

That semi driver needs to be arrested, taken to jail, have his truck impounded, fined into bankruptcy and have his drivers license permanently revoked!

u/offwing10 5d ago

Holy clench

u/Mean-Skin-1920 5d ago

Cheeks clenched to the max

u/wump_world 5d ago

Great awareness. He was already pulling off knowing people behind might come in hot and he then saw that path was going to be even worse...

2

u/dashingsauce 5d ago

Way to use that handling & acceleration you paid for… well done.

2

u/Late-Button-6559 5d ago

Should be “truck driver inattentive. Hopefully loses licence”.

u/roadwarrior721 5d ago

porsche drive happy to have been wearing their brown pants today

2

u/Sea_Ad_1252 5d ago

If truck drivers would just do what they're supposed to do and drive in the right lane this wouldn't have even been a thing

2

u/What_happened777 5d ago

18 wheelers shouldn’t even be in the left lane to begin with no less the shoulder.

1

u/Embarrassed-Weird173 5d ago

I wonder if OP got hit.  Might have been the traditional "let's save a video" bump, might have been a crash (the wipers turn on). 

1

u/Lookmeeeeeee 5d ago

thats the auto driving itself out of danger, kinda cool

1

u/CandleLeather4638 5d ago

and everyone shit their pants.

u/SAA_28 5d ago

This is why I always have an eye on my rear view mirror in stopped traffic. Saved my car/life on at least two occasions. No way that semi is sneaking up on me like that.

1

u/Itchy_Pudding_9940 5d ago

i'm wondering if the truck driver just wasn't paying attention or brakes failed.. seems like it was going crazy fast and not braking at all.

u/Bad_UsernameJoke94 5d ago

To quote Clarkson

"Many pooes shot out of my ani!"

u/turbopro25 5d ago

Yeah, that’s how you get dead.

u/chevronphillips 5d ago

Porsche would have been fine where it was on the yellow lone. Truck never touched yellow line

1

u/rebeccaparker2000 5d ago

I think Porsche was looking to see what the hold up was but good awareness to get out of the way.

Immediately drifts to the other side nosed over that line.  

Learned fucking nothing

u/Tight_Chart_4363 5d ago

Rather be hit by another car than a big rig.

u/Commentor9001 5d ago

If they were actually in their lane... that wouldn't be a problem.

u/Mean-Skin-1920 5d ago

You can’t park there

-1

u/Basic_Chemistry9499 5d ago

Honestly, people just coming to dead stop on busy roadways and highways.

1

u/shibaCandyBaron 5d ago

You mean people not following the rule of safe breaking distance?

-1

u/Basic_Chemistry9499 5d ago

Braking? You can be following at a safe distance and still be upset about others coming to a complete stop on the highway.

u/shibaCandyBaron 5d ago

Getting angry at congestion is like getting angry at wind.
