    If that was happening the worst thing you can do is take your eye off the road and look. That'll just cause another accident, like it nearly did.

    See the white mx5, the car with the camera nearly went into the back of him.

    If you didn't look a car could bounce from anywhere and smack you in the side and take you out...

    the idea is to get out of the way. If you/everyone slow and look[/], someone is gonna colide with you.

    So you would speed up into an accident that had a car spinning around all over the place.. and you have no idea where it is likley to go!??

    i don't think the camera car could actually see the accident, it took me a few looks to see everything going on, plus they are racing too so you trying to move along at speed taking the best line, not expecting to see two cars pointing at you....

    Im saying that in that instant the white mx slowed, the camara car driver wasnt looking in front of him cus if he was he would have slowed earlier. W. mx stopmted on his brakes, and the camara car nearly went into him. He had momentarly taken his eye off the road. In fact they both had.

    Too avoid that car that could flip into your path you need to use peripheral vision. Almost like looking at two thing at once.

    UnLike the plonkers who slam on their brakes when they see a roundabout, even thought there are no cars coming. Use your peripheral vision to see if there are acually cars coming from the right even though your not looking directly at them.

    You would judge it for yourself when your behind the wheel. In that moment. I may judge it differently from others.

    i love the way the camera car still goes for the overtaking manover, common sense says thats not gonna be cleared by the next lap, yet he still accelerates for the corner. weird.
