Not sure if it was already posted but this lady was driving and all of a sudden a stick of wood stabs right through her windshield missing her by inches. Just thought I'd share.

Yeah I saw this earlier. My first question was, what possessed this woman to film an empty log truck.. Let the next OT thread fill with stereotypes commence! :P

I'm pretty sure the car supplied a good portion of that velocity. :P

Reminds me of the opening of The Descent. That one moment in the film has really stuck with me for some reason.

supposedly she was filming because the 2 trucks were holding up traffic which is kinda lame in my opinion which is the reason I'm a little suspicious. But it looks so real :O

Actually, she had the velocity. This illustrates the reason for not following so closely behind someone rather clearly.

I am going to assume this is the same video I have seen all over on Tosh.0, Fox, and CNN.

It is absolutely terrifying footage in my mind. In terms of scary **** you never want to happen to you while driving on the freeway, that ranks just behind a car coming at you head on and the foot of Godzilla slamming down in front of you.

So basically.. She got a new phone and was on her way home, and decided it would be a good time to test out her phone's video recording. :P

Is there a better time? You're driving, you're just sitting there for minutes on end. Might as well multitask.

Supposedly the two trucks belonged to the same company, and she was filming it so that she could report them to the company for being jackasses.

My thoughts exactly. Who in their right mind is holding a camera filming while driving down the highway?

She claims it's because that there were two trucks driving slow and essentially blocking the road.

Yeah really. Never know when someone is going to be focusing more on a videocamera than his/her driving.

:shock: Imagine seeing that in 3D. I'm a little skeptical because it seems a little too coincidental that she would happen to be filming at that exact moment, but it looks incredibly well made if it is fake.

Yeah really. Never know when someone is going to be focusing more on a videocamera than his/her driving.

She was taking the video on her phone so she could complain to the companies of the truck drivers. The truck drivers were side by side and blocking traffic from passing, so she was going to make a complaint. Watching the video, the camera seemed very steady, so she likely had both hands on the steering wheel while taking the video. Whoever said it was her fault for following too close is mosty likely a bad driver who likes creating traffic.
