I was lucky today that drivers behind kept a safe distance. Nearly had my first crash. (files.catbox.moe)

Car stalled after braking, I think I forgot to use the clutch. I then promptly failed to start the car somehow, not sure how but I was rushing a bit. This situation could have turned out so much worse and I fully thought it would be my first crash from a rear-end but bless the drivers behind for keeping a safe distance. I thought I might have missed seeing the deer but on rewatch I think it was blocked entirely by the truck until the last moment.

Very glad to hear that you are OK.

We all make mistakes, there are always surprises from road users (including pedestrians, animals, cyclists) behaving in ways you do not expect.

**Number one rule of driving; Don’t try to occupy the same space as someone else.

Number two rule of driving; Always assume road users are all idiots…

Number three rule of driving; …including yourself.**

All the driver-assistance systems in the world cannot help you there, because they are also programmed by idiots.
