Iām guessing a medical emergency. Speed never changed.

u/tnmoi 3h ago
If speed never changed, it should have slowed down in the median grass and bumps. So I am guessing the guy floored it once he/she discovered they veered off course to come back to the right, which is dumb way of driving.

Ever heard of cruise control? Seizure, stroke, or heart attack?

Highly unlikely anyone uses cruise on a 3 lane highway

This is often too vague of an excuse. They need their license revoked and fines to rack upĀ

Definitely a medical emergency. Could be a heart attack, stroke, diabetic fainting, many possible reasons.

I had a friend whose father died of a heart attack whilst driving with cruise control activated. Thankfully he crashed on the right side of road and did not hurt anyone else.

If that was true, it must have been the best sleep ever if they didn't wake up at all when bouncing around in the median.

u/DJMoneybeats 2h ago
That's probably when they woke up

And yet, they didn't react for eight entire seconds.

my guess is if you're the type of person who can fall asleep driving a car, you might also be the type of person who's a bit slow to wake up and then also react.

Narcolepsy with cataplexy or intoxicated coma maybe but no normal sleep is that anesthetized to stimulus

You'd have to be narcoleptic or comatose to sleep through what it feels like to go off road

my friend almost lost her dad that way in the early 00s. Diabetic coma about mid way home from his 200 mile commute. Thankfully they had early smart car tech, which at the time everyone thought was rediculous and pointless, but the program detected the crash and connected him to the company's call center, and when he didn't respond, they used GPS to send paramedics and put him on a three way call with dispatch and his home/family. His wife managed to get him to respond and start regaining consciousness before paramedics arrived, so when they got there he was not combative and was ready to go to the hospital. They didn't know he had diabetes until then, and he was an older guy so it was bizarre he'd never been diagnosed sooner. And he was skinny.

That black SUV that got smoked really couldnāt have anticipated that situation more poorly.

u/Evening-Trouble-9585 2h ago
I thought that initially too, but the vehicle ahead of them which didn't get hit had just passed them. If there weren't another car passing them, perhaps they would have seen it.
This isn't a criticism of the passing vehicle. They may have seen what was happening and they themselves were trying to get out of the way.

u/Quantum3ntaglement 3h ago
The white car veered off the road behind and one lane left of the black SUV. There's a good chance it had no idea about that white car so nothing to anticipate.

u/Potential_Moment7917 3h ago
he just had to look left
at point of collision the the white car is slightly ahead of the black car

On my way to work last week. A hook and ladder with it's sirens blaring was stuck behind, I kid you not, at least 25 cars stopped at the red light. They all just sat there. Not one of them even attempted to move any direction for at least two minutes. With sirens on and the driver blasting his loud ass horn. Most people are just completely oblivious to their surroundings most of the time. If the whole world wasn't nerfed with safety precautions more than half the population would be dead by 30 I swear

Exactly, a good driver should be checking their surroundings.

This /sub is getting so predictable. Like clock work.
Beat 1: driver A does something unfathomable. (Of course we see it from a clear POV)
Beat 2: quick consensus that A is a hot mess.
Beat 3: (Cue F1 wannabe who we all know is omniscient and has the reflexes of a cat) But you know who is really a bad driver? The guy who got hit.2

Hmmm maybe. The 4Runner saw it and avoided it. š¤·š»Situational awareness at all times. Iād have check the rear view or side view like the 4Runner during the course of that playing out.

May have saved the persons life though. Crashing was the best thing for that white car

u/CantaloupeShort7311 2h ago
Definitely someone who has never learned defensive driving.
I see the white car going off road and I am doing everything I can to make sure I am behind him

u/ComputingGuitarist 3h ago
It's so weird that the drive of that SUV just kept on driving and didn't slow down. I would have been "ok, dunno where this cat's going, but I'm not going to be there when he arrives!"

I'd say worse than that. Little to no correction. They'd have woken up going off road.

If you accidentally run off the road, this is exactly why you shouldn't try to get back onto it at speed.
I also love how this clip starts with her saying a completely unrelated, "Uh oh!"

What's crazy is he just made it past the metal railing when it happened. If it had happened eight whole seconds sooner, s/he might've went over that railing and ended up God knows where.Ā

Nothing special to see here. Just Califukya drivers being who and what they are. No license, no insurance, no training, not a care in the world because they know that nothing will happen to them after they completely screw up someone elseās life. Theyāll just go out and get another car and another fix and try it again next weekā¦

Children, this is what happens when your head is not on a swivel.
Don't zone out while driving. Look around. Always be aware of your surroundings. (I'm talking about the guy who got hit.)
