- I remember years ago blasting down the autobahn near Frankfurt. I
- beleive it was close to rush hour and traffic was moving at about
- 120-130 km/h with about 5-10 feet between cars. I heard a sound similar
- to a train taking up slack inbetween boxcars and in a flash saw a blur
- of brakelights and cars bobbing up in the lane to the left of me. For
- the next few minutes I passed cars who were slowing down in the left
- lane and all of them showed some minor damage to their bumpers. I guess
- the interval between cars was so small that no significant impacts were
- generated.
-
- Just a weird thing I once saw.
