Even at a save distance, if the car was at a complete standstill, thats something completely unexpected on the highway. Having to react in such a short timeframe is close to impossible for a human, even when you keep a "safe distance"
The "safe distance" is only "safe" if all the traffic is moving at least.
- notreallyserio 5y agoI've seen cars at a complete standstill on the highway more than once. It's fair to say it is unusual but it should be fully expected, IMO. I don't understand the scare quotes around safe distance here. Maintaining safe distance (and the implied safe speed and open eyes) absolutely would help in these situations.
