Situational Awareness

Scenario:

You are driving in a car at a constant speed.

On your left side is a valley and on your right side is a fire engine travelling at the same speed as you.

In front of you is a galloping pig which is the same size as your car and you cannot overtake it. Behind you is a helicopter flying at ground level. Both the giant pig and the helicopter are also travelling at the same speed as you.

What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation?

Answer to follow.....

leave the merry-go-rounds to the kids

Actually no, someone emailed it to me, but I guess he stole it from somewhere else.

Nevermind

Are merry-go-rounds constant speed or constant acceleration?

Slow down to let helicopter hit you in the back - they will be automatically in the wrong and your insurance company will totally **** them over, its a safe bet in this situation.

The real answer is of course to never drive while you high on drugs - how else would you see pig, helicopter and fire engine at the same time on road?

Real real answer: wake up.
