    This is pretty random lol, but am I the only one who has been sitting at a light beside a truck looking at my phone or changing the radio station and then all off a sudden start slamming the breaks because you think your car is moving, only to realize the truck in your peripheral vision is rolling backwards giving the illusion that you are rolling forward..

    Like I said, pretty random, but it happened to me today and made my heart skip a beat or two lol.

    I've experienced the opposite effect; I was sitting in a golf cart on a trailer, which was about to be pulled up a steep incline. The truck moved forward suddenly, which was too much for the golf cart's weak brakes. I was looking to the side at the time, and it looked like nothing was going on, until the golf cart slammed into the trailer's back gate.
