Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
Correct, people are simply too dumb. They think the distance is fine, and it would be in the sense that "when I see the other car break, I too can break". But then you need to break harder, because you started breaking later. And the car behind you then has to break even harder. Etc. Maybe you even avoid the crash, but the car(s) behind you do not. People severely overestimate their abilities and underestimate breaking distance.
They also don't think about the situation when the vehicle in front spots something happening late (that they themselves can't see because the closer you are, the less you can see around the sides of the vehicle in front) then swerves out of the way at the last moment, revealing it to following traffic with no time to react at all.
