Nice! I remember watching these in Driver's Ed... I specifically remember the timid motorist coming to a dead stop at the end of the onramp and causing a 42-car pileup behind. I've often thought of this video when seeing just that behavior around these parts (STUPID! STUPID!), even searching around for these videos on the net a while back but not finding them.
Thanks for sharing!
