When you consider how much farther a semi takes to stop compared to a car, the young man should have been able to stop. Along with following too close, he probably wasn’t paying attention.


He may not have been following too close either. The damage doesn’t look like a “following too close” accident. It looks like a “not paying attention” accident. I’m not saying he wasn’t following too close. Rather, you can’t tell either way.

The length of the skid marks would be very telling.

Yep. He probably reacted by standing on the brake.
