> That's why I usually break fast initially and check the rearview; Great habit, but after seeing over 10,000 charts for chiropractic cases (was working on IT software to categorized it) I learnt another trick that many doctors tell their patients (unfortunately after the fact): Once in a emergency breaking situation, before you look into the mirror, secure your neck/back of your head as hard as you can into the headrest cushion. This trick will "unite" your head with the seat and in rear-end, it will push you and the car both at the same time, instead of - from what I seen in 80% of Chiro cases - your seat head cushion hitting your head in a moment when its pulled hard to the back due to G-forces related to being in a rear-end. I have to say seeing some photos I quickly got into a habit of first doing that, next checking mirror - if I assume someone might not make it and I still have room upfront, I go forward as fast and as close as I securely can.
