    Picture this: You are driving on the highway. You drive up a mild but long uphill incline, once you go over the crest and boom – you see traffic ahead is at stand still. You slam on the brakes, your car stops in time. Phew. You look up at your rear-view mirror, you see another car approaching fast – the driver’s eyes and mouth wide open, screaming an inaudible “Aaaaahhhhhhhhh” and slams into your rear.
