Slam on Brakes - What Does Cop See?
More highway adventures. :
Clean and green and straight, got 'er up to a nice 90 mph.
All of a sudden there's a cop coming in opposite direction.
I slam on brakes.
I had car in PASM (stiff) mode.
Brakes "lock" (maximum ABS) and there's even some rubber skid sound.
I'm on the brakes HARD and then _off_ brakes really fast; just to get speed "instantly" down.
My question:
What did the cop see? How much of a dip of the front bumper was evident with PASM on? Does screeching rubber mean a puff of white smoke?
He was far enough away that I saw him first and I _believe_ he would have had to be looking right at me to see it.
Would slamming on brakes create an event which would catch people's eyes?
The cop kept going as I starting wondering where my license and registration were. YIKES!!!
