Driving my Vega on the DC Beltway in the left lane many years ago, the traffic in front of me came to a sudden stop. Having left enough following distance, I stopped in time to avoid the car in front of me, but it was a hard stop. I looked in the mirror to see how the guy behind me was doing, and watched him swerve to the left shoulder to miss me. He did what the motorcycle rider did, but the car was not so narrow, so the ramp-like concrete railing support lifted the left side of his car, and it was deposited in the lane behind me on its roof, sliding down the road and slowly rotating. The guy was wearing his seat belt, and I could see his face through the windshield. It had a very excited look on it. No cars crashed and he slid safely to a stop, still hanging upside down.
