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.
i'd argue a bouncing log takes a lot longer to slow down than your average car hitting the brakes

Then treestart.

Shit myself.
Realistically, same, right after being crayoned by the log.
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.
Log that close? Same thing op would. Die.
Turn on the Improbability Drive. And certainly not improbably watch out for sperm whales falling from the sky.
Activate the Omega 13 device!
In every universe, Alan Rickman is just tired of this shit.
Not again
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.
If you had to think about it, you're dead.
Try to avoid the big logs.
Having seen this movie, I have never and will never drive behind any kind of cylinder hauler, ever.
This movie did more for safe following distance than decades of drivers ed.
swerve right asshole
assholes always swerve right
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.
Alt+F4
Curse, turn my parking lights on, and park the truck to one side, hope no one was hurt behind me
Get out the saw and start furiously making a table
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
Anyone who doesn't say die like a bitch is lying to themselves
That's the (then-) new highway near where I grew up, right before they put up the signage. I'd slow down because my dad knew all the cops.
have a vision on who dies next tell my friends they completely ignore it and die like me
I'd Jim the camera and say "logs, amirite?"
Floor it in the hope my pulverized corpse takes the fucker with me
This is what the "overdrive" button on the shifter column is for.
Press f9
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.
I thought there was a giant log rolling toward the lorry.
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
