That wouldn't have happened if he hadn't driven such a piece of shit car.
Technology is amazing the windshell only broke where the metal beam went trought a normal glass would have scattered into pieces and the driver could had his throat cut by one small piece and died.

what type of car comes with anti-steel girder technology?
>>8651
He must've been following way too close (unsurprising, considering it is a beamer). It's not like a girder like that is going to bounce all over the road.

Anything that isnt better than that faggots geo metro.

jet fuel can't melt steal beams

geo prism?
>>8692
>electricity
Yeah no.
If the windshield had the power of electricity it could have reflected the metal beam, railgun-style, sending it flying back to the truck it came from.

Are you me?
I always had the idea of a truck's wheel breaking off. Imagine the wheel of a truck coming straight for you. that shit is terrifying. I'm also a new driver and so when I see a flatbed truck with beams and shit, fucking switch lanes and bolt.
