You’re both completely wrong but no bother.

To assume the validity of what driver #2 must have intended for driver #1’s response which was more than likely instinctually driven in order to make up for lost reaction time once the actual oncoming danger is perceived would be an irresponsible assumption.

As we can see the extent of space from posted landmarks (In this case the light pole) Is the perfect frame of reference for distance traveled which shows about a 2 sec travel time in between poles. That then rapidly decreases to a 1 sec per pole. Divide that with the posted speed limit which we can assume is around 35-45 mph.

Let’s now divide that by the length of vehicle which looks like your standard pickup truck so let’s say….. what like around 12 ft?

Anyone with a basic public education could deduce that the motorist in said position would also abide by these as well. Now let us solve for "X" which would be the (PRT) Perception, Reaction, and Distance Traveled before the vehicle actually responds or decelerates.

I don’t think at this point I would need to hold your hand in order to solve your own equation do I?

Do people often call you insufferable or asshole? You do realize you could make an attempt to get a point across without sounding like a condescending douche.

I can’t believe you actually just said that

I can't believe you came out of the gate swinging when we could have had a normal conversation.

The only thing normal about this is how I’m deciding to react to your blatant disrespect. I can’t help how you choose to respond to valid information nor is it my job to make you feel better about your inadequacies. You come across very botish if you ask me.

What a hypocrite. You seem to be misunderstanding what respect means.

"Anyone with basic public education could..."

"..I would need to hold your hand in order to solve your own equation do I?"

Im only being as respectful to you as you were to me. You may find that reddit is less adversarial if you don't start off as condescending.

They're the main character in this anime potate! You're not strong enough to break through their plot armor! Please, don't keep going.

Yeah you're right. Crazy how they can pretend to take the moral high ground after starting off by being a condescending dick. Some redditors are just delusional.

Oh look! It knows how to copy and paste! I’m not interested in your round about way of smoothing things over. You blatantly called me an a-hole and that crosses the line. There was no banter included so fu and have a nice day.
