John is on the road, traveling at 60 miles per hour, and several cars are behind him in the same lane. Suddenly, he hits the brakes because a deer appears out of nowhere. John was the only one hitting the brakes but the cars right behind him weren't damaged. Explain.

John is the conductor of a train. When he hits the brakes, it goes to every single car and applies the brakes on them.

You can only believe i what you can prove, and since you have nothing proven to cmpare to, you can believe in nothing.
I have ~50 posts to hack a "R" into a "D". Which one?

@Ghost Sniper: The problem says that John is on the road.
John was driving a car transporter?

Yes.  So, it is called car transporter? I thought it had some interesting name, sort of like, transformer.
