    I wonder if there is subtle difference between "1" and "2".
    1. Look out! A car is coming.
    2. Look out! There is a car coming.

    The subtle difference is that using the longer version could be the difference between life and death.

    'LOOK OUT! CAR!'

    A better title would have been Look out! A car is coming.
