Car stalled after braking, I think I forgot to use the clutch. I then promptly failed to start the car somehow, not sure how but I was rushing a bit. This situation could have turned out so much worse and I fully thought it would be my first crash from a rear-end but bless the drivers behind for keeping a safe distance. I thought I might have missed seeing the deer but on rewatch I think it was blocked entirely by the truck until the last moment.
Yep… glad you got through that.
Sorry to patronize but hope this instills in you to keep pace with the car in front with a healrhy amount of distance. And look where your car will be in 3 seconds, 5, 10, 15 seconds from now. If you see an obstruction, brake lights, you can start slowing down, and you’ll have time to react to prevent the rear end collision. If a deer just jumps out suddenly then, well, there’s little anyone can do but you see it takes every person on the road to avoid collisions, because mistakes get made, some drivers don’t know how to drive properly, and unexpected things can happen.
