Reflexes, yes. Awareness, I'm not so sure.
Fair enough. I'm impressed that the driver knew the lane to the right was clear, it would have been easy to freeze in the moment.
A bit of both. Wonder if they took one of those driving courses that advises you to watch leave room in front and watch you rear in case you need to avoid a non-stopping vehicle, though some initial critical thinking on the stopping distance for large rigs would have been good too!
Why’s everyone applauding this guy brake checking a truck?
Probably because they recovered from it, admitted they made a mistake, and posted it online for content. No point crucifying someone over a mistake that they (hopefully) learned from, especially when harm was avoided.
Where did they admit they made a mistake?
The original Reddit thread I linked.
Should’ve realized I got in front of a truck
There is some room for interpretation, but it sounds to me like they know they made a mistake. I can't imagine they'll do it again anyway.
Oh! I didn’t see the link
