If online dashcam videos have taught me one thing, it's that some drivers will do almost anything to avoid an accident, other than fully depressing their brake pedal while traveling in a straight line.
- robxorb 2y agoSelection bias? Dashcam videos showing normal braking and the clear, preemptive avoidance of an accident would be the least uploaded/promoted and watched?

It takes some distance to stop a fast traveling, heavy vehicle. Imagine seeing an accident happen directly in front of you on the highway. You better be able to steer in time cause you sure aren't stopping before hitting anything. This is also the reason to try and have both hands on the steering wheel all of the time, versus a relaxed one hand at 12 o'clock lounge while doing 70+ mph.
