I saw a car pull out in front of me and I slammed my foot into the brake pedal. I was using all my strength and should have locked up the wheels. It felt like it took a full ten seconds to hit the car. I thought, “why isn’t this brake pedal doing anything?.” Then it got all grey and blank in front of me and then the air bag deflated. When I got out of the car I saw that the distance was no more than twenty five feet and in the real time I probably did not even move the brake pedal all the way to the floor.I had been traveling at probably 40 mph.
Good story. I won’t bore you with my slo-mo story, but I can recall it, with every motion in great detail, as it happened, in my mind’s eye...even though it was a decade ago. Amazing phenomenon.
