It’s weird watching this video! That buckle in the road is a serious accident waiting to happen. So, is it that difficult to see the buckle, or are drivers too distracted to see what’s right in front of them. Finally, at 1:10, a driver slows down to avoid the road buckle. Other vehicles, following, begin to stop, and it will likely cause a chain reaction. It’s like pausing for a second to observe someone changing a tire, or receiving a traffic ticket, on the side of the road. Your first impulse is to wonder why everyone has to slow down to take a look. But then you find yourself doing the same thing.
