That's why you wear your seat belts... But in all honesty they probably would have all died regardless. Hope they survived.

^ That 2nd video WOW!!!! All dead probably. If he hadn't panicked and hit the brake, and moved back over into his lane they'd all be alive. Of course if he weren't an idiot trying to pass with that truck coming up. Hope the truck driver made it, those cabover trucks aren't very safe in a crash.

As for the poop video, I remember my cousin saying years ago he got stuck behind the honey wagon on the interstate, and it was leaking. For several miles. Said it was spreading sludge on the interstate everywhere, which was super slippery and causing people to spin out. He managed to get around him though, not before his car getting covered in poo though.

Lmao that white Hyundai got screwed. Thankfully he doesn't have a habit of keeping the windows down like I do. Mental note, always raise the windows when driving near a truck that appears to be carrying fluids...

Most vehicles today are air conditioned, except for convertibles with their tops down. People don't often drive with open windows any more.

I see people drive with open windows all the time. I don't like open windows but I know many many people who do, and yes their cars have air conditioning.

To not use A/C during typical Washington DC summer heat/humidity would usually either border on masochism or mean the system is not functioning LOL.
