Floor it in the hope my pulverized corpse takes the fucker with me
Press f9
Log that close? Same thing op would. Die.
The logs don’t actually tend to fly out and backwards, they fall off to the sides, usually just one side too, the best option is to give them plenty of space and be ready to steer to the side not dumping logs. If you’re unfortunate enough that one managed to catch air enough to be sent back but not enough to change it from horizontal to more vertical the universe has already decided what you’re doing, dying
We have a ton of these where I live I’ve never seen one in motion fail I don’t find them any scarier than a normal semi who has who knows what, possibly something way more deadly and way less stable hidden inside the container
Swerve right with medium braking. Depending on the logs either swerve back in, or more likely crash into the guardrail as slow as possible, any oole/structure could take a lifesaving hit before you do.
Try to avoid the big logs.
Probably crash, my car is right hand drive so I don’t think the log hits me, but I’m pretty sure I’m not prepared to control a car after that kind of impact.
I wouldn’t have been anywhere near that close to a fckn logging truck of all things.
I’m surrounded by forestry operations where I live. I can’t go anywhere without getting stuck behind a logging truck on winding and often slippery broads. It’s amazing how complacent I’ve become with these things.
Anyone who doesn’t say die like a bitch is lying to themselves
Shit myself.
Realistically, same, right after being crayoned by the log.
have a vision on who dies next tell my friends they completely ignore it and die like me
Dodge right and hope for the best trying to control the car in the weeds. Wrecking in dirt seems somewhat better odds than being speared by a thousand pound log.
swerve right asshole
assholes always swerve right
Stop, lol. The momentum from the truck is carrying the log forward. Realistically, it isn’t being shot directly into the windshield like a cruise missile.
Physics!
Never noticed that the logs fell off the side and bounced! The log would slow and the car would still be hauling ass, right?
And for those of you scared of log trucks, nothing can make a log slide off the top while driving down the road. They are jammed on there with friction.
EDIT: The log is still going 65mph (for argument’s sake). You’re still going 65mph (for argument’s sake). The log will slow on the bounce, a little, you’ll jam the brakes and slow more, it will still look like a fucking torpedo.
I have enough trust towards brake technology that I assume your car can stop faster than a log. I ass-pulled that assumption tho.
Brakes can absolutely stop faster than a log falling off a truck. Your reaction time is the main concern.
Wouldn’t you have about the same reaction time as if the truck was braking tho? I mean, the momentum will carry the log in the direction the truck was going until it dissipates, which is kinda the same as braking.
I mean, that situation would obviously be dangerous because you don’t wanna stop on a freeway for obvious reasons, but still, if you adhered to common safety rules, you should be okay in that situation, no?
i’d argue a bouncing log takes a lot longer to slow down than your average car hitting the brakes
