Obviously way too fast for a 2-lane Autobahn

Driver of the VW Golf was using her phone and completely distracted

Very close call at 208 km/h (130 mph) on the german Autobahn. Near collision was recorded with a dashcam. Gauge was recorded because of a fuel consumption video. Cars did not make any contact, so no accident/crash happened.

You know its bad when you have 0% focus on honking and 100% focus on surviving.

I‘m astonished by how well those brakes worked

[Twisted]

No indication, no mirror check. Some people just shouldn't drive.

[xXRacerXx]

that initial lift off from 213 to 209 saved you. I always tend to hover the braking pedal when traffic starts merging regardless if they are in my way yet

Guaranteed that trucker was staring in his mirror watching that go down. Incredible that you were able to avoid an accident.

Always be careful when someone's behind a truck.

[hahahello]

This is why, whenever I see a truck with a car behind and I'm on the left line, I automatically expect the car behind the truck to pull left at anytime, so most of the time I slow down to prevent any accidents. On the other hand, whenever I'm on the right lane, I never pull left when I see another vehicle quickly approximating

You know those brakes were glowing after that

[maruti_rakshit]

Massive respect for the tyres and the braking assembly..

[Mister_Belvidere]

He slowed by 95kph in four seconds. Those are some good brakes.

My grandmother drives a 2015 Honda CR-V. It has insanely great brakes. When she first bought it, I was riding with her and she pushed the brake pedal down as far as she had to in her 2003 Highlander to stop. The Highlander has a bit of a mushy brake pedal compared to the CR-V and the CR-V stopped on a dime literally taking the wind out of me with the seatbelt. Both cars still run great. The CR-V has 40k miles and the Highlander has 215k miles. I will forever trust Japanese cars with safety and reliability.

That's insane. Merging from 80/100 when someone is flying down 210 is insane

[Zylinkpoint]

My dad the other day went from 167 km/h to 40 after a guy did the same. My soul left my body.

[Momanic]

Pulled it off very smoothly! Glad there was no accident

[Demjan]

Wow, that's next level of "don't give a dolly, I'm pulling over..."

[iVTECInside]

This is why I just assume everyone is going to do something stupid. Autobahn or not I probably would have backed off a little passing them under the assumption of something like that happening. That Golf probably still had no idea you were there.

WOW what a save. THANK YOU Mr Golf for that excitement

[BHRoadStoriesBH]

Friend, excellent and instructive video as always
go ahead.

Incredible braking and good use of the steering to avoid the crash.

[liambohl]

It's insane how often this sort of close call happens on the road.
