You forgot about a gamer's reflexes. 2 car lengths at 200 km/h are fine. Give or take the condition of your brakes and tires.
This shit is not a game, there are no extra lives: Pad your reaction time IRL because shit happens and you can't always anticipate it.
Yeah you actually have to deal with repercussions in real life, and others have to deal with them too.
Any% no-brake 200kmph 2 car length speedrun
Between the customers that have refused service at my old job and all the "just rolled in" videos I've seen I just don't trust people's ability to upkeep their cars. My coworker is running around on the original tires of his 2008 Saturn and doesn't see a problem.
I uh....those gotta look like F1 slicks by now right
Car wasn't driven much (less than 50k miles), the real problem is they are dry af
Do I need to water my tires? /s
As a non car guy, they're dry from age?
Not a car guy, but I imagine it's kind of similar to what happens to old rubber bands. They start to dry out and lose their elasticity.
The deteriorate as they age, especially if they aren't stored properly.
