*Starts ramming the truck with my car*

I mean, if you change lanes, all you're doing is delaying the inevitable, right?

The log was cgi'd, because real logs don't bounce off the road like rubber balls. And also poorly secured logs are more likely to fall from the side than to slip all the long way to the back.

How often do you see logs dropped along a road anyway? I would not count on getting hit by one.

I mean... a bullet is much less agonizing than being flipped over, and die like that. But oh wait, you don't die, it was just a vision, now you spend the next few hours/days just in anxiety anticipating death.

So yea, if I made it past the event in the inital vision, I'd just stand in front of a huge crowd, give an anti-government speech, say something like "the government is trying to kill me because I'm speaking the truth!" then stage my own "assassination" and become a martyr.
