    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    3 points snakebite75

    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.
