How do you rear end someone on the highway?

It's impossible to protect yourself from that.

Thanks, soistalker. That's close to reality.

That's why they're speeding from breakfast to 2nd breakfast to lunch and from there to another lunch to coffee break to early dinner, to dinner and after dinner and finally from after dinner to breakfast... for they're speeding ALL the time.
