Great video, genec.

I would have been the guy in the suit once, except I was driving 80,000 pounds of goo. The speed limit was 55 mph, typical rural road in CA. When I saw the woman driving a car with a couple of kids approach the T-intersection, I instinctively downshifted and dropped five mph. The driver fooled me by actually stopping at the stop sign before she pulled out right in front of me. As I was frantically hitting the jakes, blasting the air-horn (to get her to accelerate as though her life depended on it, which it did) and using the brakes as much as possible without putting myself or a trailer into the ditch on the right or into the oncoming car, all I could see was a child's face getting bigger and bigger in front of me. That was, without a doubt, the worst few seconds of my life.
