I have enough trust towards brake technology that I assume your car can stop faster than a log. I ass-pulled that assumption tho.

Brakes can absolutely stop faster than a log falling off a truck. Your reaction time is the main concern.

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 4 days ago

Wouldn't you have about the same reaction time as if the truck was braking tho? I mean, the momentum will carry the log in the direction the truck was going until it dissipates, which is kinda the same as braking.

I mean, that situation would obviously be dangerous because you don't wanna stop on a freeway for obvious reasons, but still, if you adhered to common safety rules, you should be okay in that situation, no?
