What owners wrote
I had just turned left under an underpas and was in the middle lane under an overpass I remember thinking "wow. This is apowerful engine." a car was coming in front of me and when I brake it did not slow down and I hit the car and that's all I remember when I came too the horn was blowing and two people were pounding on my windows and my emergency bag had deployed, I was released. They gave me first aid until the ambulance came, treated me and took me to the emergency room. The other driver was not injured.
