We can all speculate all we want, but until we are in the same situation ourselves in a Panic Emergency situation we really don't know how we'd react. This most recent guy seemed to be lucky and was on an interstate where he had plenty of time make decisions and give thought to his situation. I don't see any hero's in this situation for stopping the car, I see a lucky old man though. Had he been like my mother, and you nail the gas pedal to the floor everytime you take off from a street light, and it was in a surface street situation, I am sure the outcome would have been much differant as he would not have had the time and space to gain some composure and think about what he was doing. Everyone acts and reacts differantly in an adrenalin rush situation. Just like cops, there are some that are awesome at hitting a target at the range, and they all qualify, or they would not be able to be cops, but its been proven over and over, in real street crime fighting adrenalin rush situations, cops have over a 90% miss rate and they have even been trained how to handle those situations. Just saying, unless we have been in a situation ourselves, all we can do is speculate.
