yeah stuff like that is hard to see at night on the interstate, but if he had at least one open lane to his side then i think he should have been able to pull it off no problem. guess not.

shiat! something like that happened to a friend of mine. He had just bought a 2005 Sti. Didnt have the car 23 hours and got T-boned by some jackass not paying attention to the stop signs. It wasnt totaled, but it did about $20K of damage.

summation:



the owner of the car was not driving, his friend (whose dad owns a sti or wrx w/e) was. it wasn't a little cube of hay other wise you could steer around that as he stated it was in one lane completely and in the one they wanted to get in to avoid it.
.
thats not 50 lbs. more like a couple hundred.

everyone knows that headlights are great at reflecting objects shadows and light reflectors back, if you're going that fast you have no time to react, granted some people apparently auto-X while they drive and know all there is to know about driving, but still give em a break cuz you know they're are people that will say the same **** about you when you crash.

yeah my old cavalier had the airbags go off in an accident that was WELL under 10mph. maybe 6, 7, or 8 mph. But cause the car was so damn cheap the engine was pushed back and the airbags went off. They are not supposed to deploy under 15mph though, but chevys are garbage so I have no idea why they went off lol. So maybe the logic behind them is like 15mph and the front sensors being tripped OR the engine bay sensors tripped alone will deploy them.

To make myself not sound like an ***.... there are two sizes for bales of hay. Technically what you posted a pic of was a round bale.... but as far as i know the general bale is rectangular in shape.... and about 50lbs=) And in alot of instances..... those bales of hay arent cheap i think someone would be a little more careful to keep it from falling off there flatbed.
