Last night I found out the hard way that wet concrete is like ice. While driving down Bardstown road in Louisville, I looked away for about 1 second and turned back to find a car stopped about 30 feet in front of me. I was only going about 30 because I was looking for a gas station to buy a Coke from. Naturally, I slammed on the brakes, locked up, and slid into his bumper (So much for ABS). Luckily, he heard me trying to stop and tried to take off, creating a sort of cusion between the cars. It’s funny that we had just studied the transfer of energy between objects in physics just the other day. I drive a ‘99 Ford Taurus, it didn’t really do much damage to either car. I just had some paint scrached off and he had a slight dent. Here is a picture of my car before the accident, (I haven’t got a damage picture yet).
