so being completely stopped in the middle of a highway and not even pressing on the brake peddle, what else is going to happen. maybe if he was pressing the brakes the oncoming car would have known a) he was stopping/slowing b) he was stopped. but then you would have to let off the brake to hit the gas and would end up losing. if theyre going to race like that, on a highway, do what they do in those southern/texas vids and everybody blocks the road behind the race.
kudos to the kid who immediately goes over and starts breaking glass to get the driver of the suv out. not too many people would do that.
