God damn it, Gump! You're a god damn genius! This is the most outstanding answer I have ever heard. You must have a goddamn I.Q. of 160. You are goddamn gifted, Private Gump.
the fact that this video has now been reduced to a tiny square in the center of the screen for absolutely no reason and has big red bold text to tell you what is currently happening in front of your eyes reminds me that half the worlds population is too stupid to operate a TV remote
I work in IT support. We recently had a discussion at work if our job becomes obsolet because people can just use chatgpt.
Next person on the phone called us because he thought his password for the company account was the same like his PC pin-code and it took 30 minutes for him to believe us...
Can confirm. People are idiots. I also work in an IT-esque role. More teaching focused, rather than support. I was working with an older client who I found was trying to use his outlook email password to login to our website and called me yelling why wasnt this working. Um, did you make it the same as your email password? No, well use the one you created for this completely seperate website?? Oh, its working now and you can login? Great.
Shit like this is why I never worry about AI taking over customer service jobs. Having worked in customer service I can tell you, they can't make a computer as stupid as human beings.
I worked in IT Support AND Customer Services before. I understand you completely. I remember i was having customers on the phone, who can not remember the password they just set like literally 25 secs ago.
Do not worry, but please be worried for your mental health.
Vertical content is the bane of my existence. Horizontal content for anything that’s moving should be a given, but people don’t want to turn their phones even once.
after reading your comment it only just occurred to me that the reason this video is now a tiny rectangle in the middle is because it was shrunken to fit mobile aspect ratio lol
I had it on mute and thought the passenger was yelling at him for some reason, very glad I unmuted to hear what she was saying. May that awed "How the FUCK did you get us out of that?!" replay in his brain to make him feel warm and happy for years to come
I remember my dad pulling a similar move back in the day. We were driving back from some sort of school music thing on an icy night in February. My Dad is a horrible driver on a good day, and a terrifying one on a normal day. I definitely have trauma around him driving like a douche my entire childhood.
Anyway. A guy in front of us on the highway had a small trailer attached to his truck. A few times, the trailer kinda kicked around in a weird way, which was spooky. Then all of a sudden, the trailer starts to fishtail wildly, the car pulling it is sliding around and coming right for us.
My dad, who cannot make a left turn in a small town without nearly having an aneurysm, somehow just veeeery calmly swerves gently to the right, avoids the guys sliding around and the other traffic next to us, and we continue on our way home as if our lives did not flash before our eyes. I still don't trust the man behind the wheel BUT damn, he really was A1 on top of it that day.
Is there a word for that particular emotion? You know, after something crazy like that happens how theres this mixture of upset but also happy that makes whatever you are saying come across really hostile even though youre glad to not be dead. Maybe something in German?
Honestly, she's a real one too for keeping her cool in the face of impending danger. No screaming or loud reactions, just bracing herself and trusting that the driver would do his best.
I use one for my dog, it’s a reinforced vest that has a slot to feed the seatbelt through. She can still sit up, lay down, and turn around enough to sniff out either back seat windows, but she won’t get flung through the windshield, fly out of the car in a rollover, or god forbid get loose after an accident and run away or get hit by another car.
She disliked the harness for only as long as it took her to realize harness = car ride.
warning, it's a graphic PSA for wearing your seat belt. I'd recommend watching from the beginning.
Here it is without a timestamp: https://youtu.be/NxH8GtSF7-A
I don't think the physics would work flawlessly for decapitation from behind inside the car, but an 80 lb weight thrown at someone's head by slamming on the brakes while doing 60 mph could do some damage. I think the headrests would absorb a lot of the impact.
Dog just has a leash on and is not secured in the vehicle. The actual OP acknowledged this in the original video posted in r/dashcam and said they would get a,seatbelt for doggo
If a person travels in a car, with their dog, without giving their dog some way to be safe in even a minor crash...I am going to go ahead and say they do not actually like their dog very much.
Here it's illegal to have an unrestrained dog in a car. The law does suck, though, because it doesn't specific minimum safety standards for dogs. It only cares that they don't distract or injure people.
Not nearly to this extent but driving home at 18 after a 4 day canoe trip with my girlfriend, sister and her friend in the car, a canoe on the roof and packed to the gills with gear and equipment, some random 2-lane road in middle of nowhere northern ontario, guy in front of me slams the breaks for seemingly no reason, I hit the brakes too but I was really overloaded and didn't have the stopping distance I thought I did, swerved onto the shoulder and came to a stop side-by-side the guy in front. Dead silence in the car till my sister said "good job". We've never spoken about it again haha. Probably wouldn't have died but would not have been a fun time either. Great work by this dude being attentive and swerving instead of slamming, if he hit the brakes he'd have been toast.
Pause the video when the van starts to slip and you’ll see on the left that there has just been an accident in the exact same spot. The guard rail is bent and there’s still debris on the ground
And that’s why you should always have your dogs harness attached to a seatbelt. Had they gotten into a bad wreck, the dog would have been flying all over the cabin causing harm to the dog but also to the humans who could get hit by the dog
while that is true, not panicking is still impressive. could've swerved too much & hit the guardrail, slammed the brakes & caused an accident depending on the traffic behind him, any number of things really
some people shut down entirely or can't process things quickly enough in that kind of situation & wouldn't even be able to veer slightly to the left at all
Absolutely, not panicking in these situations is the most important thing. Check the accident videos in the motorcycle forums and you'll see people panicking and making easy mistakes that they try to train you on in the MSF. One of the most common mistakes is when someone is turning in front of you and you can't stop, steer where the vehicle was and not where it's going, also remember that your bike is going where you're looking, if you look at the car you will hit the car, keep your eyes on your escape route.
I've had a couple of close calls, but fortunately I have had some training in the MSF and from getting to spend a day at Road America with the drivers from the Panoz racing school teaching us how to handle various cars in different situations.
Buddy!!! I am proud of you to!!! I, a similarly aged woman, give you permission to use this moment as your "i forgot to do the thing you asked me to do" [excluding normal household chores] get out of jail free card FIVE TIMES.
Probably because you didn't start screaming. That's how we do it. Had you been screaming, your chances of getting out of a bad situation, diminish greatly.
He’s smirking like, “yeah, bitch. That’s why I’ve been ignoring you for 20 years whenever you say shit about my driving”. And he knows she can’t say shit ever again.
Most people don't realize this but if you immediately look for an exit for your car regarding an impending accident, there is usually a way to avoid collision, just slamming the brakes isn't avoiding a collision you have to keep driving and avoid the hazard (steer).
He was a little bit chalant.
He almost certainly chalanted his pants
Oh, I love reddit, man 😂!
😂😂😂
He was a lotta bit chalant
"I veered slightly to the left"
God damn it, Gump! You're a god damn genius! This is the most outstanding answer I have ever heard. You must have a goddamn I.Q. of 160. You are goddamn gifted, Private Gump.
IF IT WASNT SUCH A WASTE OF AN ENLISTED MAN I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU FOR OCS. Now disassemble your rifle
Boy, this guy knows some maneuvers!
I understood that reference
The guy after 😎
The guy during 😬
The people in the cars behind them 😱
The guy in the van 🫣
The dog 🥳
Me watching this when I should be sleeping
Phone screens keeping us all awake so we cant fall asleep properly 😈
His shorts despite looking cool 💩
Us watching 😧
Afterwards, 😶, well back to it.
You bet his buttcheeks is clenching the hardest in years
Twice later that night

Next time someone's gonna put subway surfers in the bottom half just to keep our attention.
And then someone else will add a picture-in-picture of their “reaction” watching the video.
Some schools have kids that can't read the big red EXIT sign.
Chillax
always with the drama
An alert driver will always have that tiny second reaction time that can save lives. What a close call…

For those looking for the song.
He must have felt it in his blood

Incredulous
Thank you!
That’s it!
She sounded mad even though she was greatful/in shock
[deleted]
They hydroplaned and lost control. You can see the big splash under the front tires right before they lose traction and start to spin.
He obviously lost traction because the road is wet.
He's smiling thinking about getting whatever he wants for dinner for at least a week.
He's thinking about anal. Barb's freaky ass is getting packed tonight
Barb is about to suck a golf ball through a garden hose yeesh
wtf
"How'd you get us out of that"?
"I did it for you babe".
Delivery in rear tonight!
???
Well that was disgusting.
And desert! 😉
r/DadReflexes
Wife “How did you get us out of that?”
Husband: “I guess it’s time for you to know the truth… I’m Batman”
Dog: "I too am grateful that we are all unharmed"
Hey now, she acknowledged his greatness.
Honestly, she's a real one too for keeping her cool in the face of impending danger. No screaming or loud reactions, just bracing herself and trusting that the driver would do his best.
I love that she acknowledged his skill.
Not panicking is a hell of a superpower
Dudes definitely getting laid tonight.
Even the dog was impressed
More than laid — oral.
Ass to mouth is not out of the question
I really wish that pooch was harnessed and secured. If they were in an accident, the dog could decapitate one of them.
Genuinely curious because I've never heard of harnessing a dog in a car, how does that work?
They have harnesses that just connect into the seatbelt buckles
Interesting. The photos on Google for that are hilarious.
And then they chew your seatbelts off. 😐
I use one for my dog, it’s a reinforced vest that has a slot to feed the seatbelt through. She can still sit up, lay down, and turn around enough to sniff out either back seat windows, but she won’t get flung through the windshield, fly out of the car in a rollover, or god forbid get loose after an accident and run away or get hit by another car.

Either that or it becomes Air Bud
I was waiting for the dog to be thrown around the truck. Gotta keep them secured properly
How would he decapitate one of them?? With his claws or bite their head off? I’m genuinely curious

He just freaks out when he gets scared, man, he doesn’t mean to do it!
But the dog IS wearing a harness and is strapped? I can’t tell if it’s a harness and strap made for cars tho

Bro looked so proud lmao
That’s peak Dad shit.
No dying when Def Leppard is on
I missed the bit where the chaos happened
Even the dog was impressed
Tighten your buttshicks, feel the gap is feeling your lifeline in the vast ocean we are sailing together... Our journey is not over!
I would argue this driver is going too fast in such heavy rain in such a vehicle
Scrolled way too far to find this. Dude makes a nice move but shouldn’t have been there in the first place.
Not nearly to this extent but driving home at 18 after a 4 day canoe trip with my girlfriend, sister and her friend in the car, a canoe on the roof and packed to the gills with gear and equipment, some random 2-lane road in middle of nowhere northern ontario, guy in front of me slams the breaks for seemingly no reason, I hit the brakes too but I was really overloaded and didn't have the stopping distance I thought I did, swerved onto the shoulder and came to a stop side-by-side the guy in front.

What do you want to bet you were tailgating, and you're going to get defensive and either say "don't camp in the left lane" or "no waaaaaaiiiii!!!"
Like a boss.
"I'm Jason Bourne"
I'm hoping he (somehow) instantly changed the music to Rock You Like a Hurricane right after.
Probably going too fast for the road conditions too.
Smug fucker. Good job
The rollercoaster of facial expressions:
"Just another average day, dadoodaloo... oh shit son, oh fuck, oh fuck, oh phew... we chill?... Yeah we chill baby, you know me 😏"
Pause the video when the van starts to slip and you’ll see on the left that there has just been an accident in the exact same spot. The guard rail is bent and there’s still debris on the ground
No one ever dies while Def Leppard is playing
He had that feeling in his blood…
This should be a commercial for Rain-X
month old reposted clip
And that’s why you should always have your dogs harness attached to a seatbelt. Had they gotten into a bad wreck, the dog would have been flying all over the cabin causing harm to the dog but also to the humans who could get hit by the dog
i mean he really just continued going straight. swerved over a little bit but not exactly stunt driving.
while that is true, not panicking is still impressive. could've swerved too much & hit the guardrail, slammed the brakes & caused an accident depending on the traffic behind him, any number of things really
some people shut down entirely or can't process things quickly enough in that kind of situation & wouldn't even be able to veer slightly to the left at all

yeah i mean, again this is just my opinion, but it looked like he didn't react at all and basically got lucky. either way glad they didn't get hurt.
This is a great video, but honestly, how many fucking posts do people have to make?
💪🏻
Simon Cowell never dies
Even the dog almost shat itself
If you look in the rear window, it looks like the other cars behind him were able to avoid accidents as well
Need new seat covers lul
Reflex of a left-handed cheetah. 😜
San jose. Not the greatest roads
That dog would have killed one of them as it continued on at what ever the speed was
The dog's had it with her foul language.
we slidin
Manly nod to driver.
Nonchalant fist bump.
Where are the pixelated glasses 😎
The definition of an operator
The guy that swerved got it under control, and the man driving kept his cool.
Look at his proud face!!!
Buddy!!! I am proud of you to!!! I, a similarly aged woman, give you permission to use this moment as your "i forgot to do the thing you asked me to do" [excluding normal household chores] get out of jail free card FIVE TIMES.
He was going to fast for the conditions and got damn lucky.
He has some serious explaining to do!
How the fk he failed to hit that car!?
The dog would have flown through the windshield.
Big up for the wife that didn't scream histericaly
That guy is gonna ride the high of his wife's responce for a couple of years.
That was more luck than skill I think
I love this video. The wife that doesn't scream, the guy's expressions throughout, the dog... the music. It's too good.
Smirk at the end, yea I'm getting some tonight😂
Her: how did you get us out of that?
Him: smirk of the century.
Probably because you didn't start screaming. That's how we do it. Had you been screaming, your chances of getting out of a bad situation, diminish greatly.
Some people swerve around trouble. Many (most?) only use horn and brake, in that order.
he survived because of rain-x, no joke
Oh she’s gonna give him all of it tonight 🤣🤣🤣
I really hope for his sake that he didn’t marry that thing
"You'll get some leg tonight for sure..."
Someone’s getting a blowie tonight
She still manages to talk to him like he did something wrong
Reddit person never heard of “surprise & shock” 😔
Those are human emotions you see, shock is when something really big and scary happens. Your brain goes “uh-oh” and slams the pause button.
And surprise is when something unexpected happens. Your brain goes “wait what” very fast.
Reddit person never heard of 'a joke' 🙂↕️
The wife sounds so disapproving.
That reminds me to get rainx this year.
We still haven't ruled out the Guardian Angel theory yet...
Just saying 🤣🤣🤣
She seems a bit angry about that
At that is how this legend got laid the first time in 10 years that night, well played sir !
He’s smirking like, “yeah, bitch. That’s why I’ve been ignoring you for 20 years whenever you say shit about my driving”. And he knows she can’t say shit ever again.

Why do people film themselves driving? Serious question
It's a dashcam…do you really need someone to explain to you the purpose of a dashcam?
Insurance for if an accident happens??
Why does she sound so mad at him? :)
Jesus Christ. What is wrong with cars in the USA to do such things? And please don't say aquaplaning, because that's BS in those conditions :O
she seemed upset XD
