Some insane car crash photos

I would like to add to that thought about staying in the right lane. I have been a SCCA licensed driver and also have instructed a few drivers schools. I took a Skip Barber racing school when I was first trying to learn to go fast in the corners. I learned one really good thing from that experience and that was to "Drive the Horrison". Never drive only fixated on the car directely in front of you. This means to look as far ahead of you as the pavement allows even to follow the road to where it meets the sky at times. (On hills)
Watch the lead car or truck in a collum you are following.

Beleive it or not this pays off even on the street and especially at night. This will accomplish two things. It will give you a huge edge if the car in front of you should suddenly brake to make a turn. You will instantely notice something happening even though you are paying more attention to the lead car. Any car in the line that does something out of the ordinary you will see it and more importantely you will have the maximum time to take evasive action.

Accidents can happen so fast and easy when you least expexct it. I remember years ago I had a guy come clear across a 4 lane street toward me one night and he totaled my black 72 SJ GP because he would not let off the gas and was showing off doing burnouts in his 70 Nova and went left of center clear to catch me over on the right hand lane coming toward him. He hit me so hard it stopped me dead in my tracks. The rear wheel skid marks from my front tires didn't get past the back tires. I was running 35 at the time thank goodness.

Be carefull out there guys.
