Case Against Drafting
So yesterday I'm driving along I-470 and on the other side of the highway it looked like a cop had someone pulled over.
As I got closer, there were 2 older folks standing outside of the vehicle (a Toyota Sienna) and there was something in the windshield. It turns out a 2x4 went through the windshield on the driver's side!
It was sticking out of the top corner -- everyone looked to be OK, but man it was freaky. The driver's door was open and the board punctured the glass into the roof.
There's almost always junk on the road. It's easy to picture the board into a small car. No time to react at those speeds. 2-3 years ago, someone had a metal piece here in town enter the front and killed the driver. I had a chunk of ice shatter the windshield and buckle the roof this past Winter. It's crazy out there...
Reminder: think twice about drafting...
