Continuity mistake: When Buck is on the highway driving to the house and trying to remember the kids' names, we see a white 4x4 travelling the same speed as him but several lanes over. When it cuts to a shot of the rear of Buck's car, there is a small sedan now in the left lane beside him that wasn't there before.

Answer: You can't actually see a person, all you see is a human-sized lump under the covers. It's possible that it's just bunched-up blankets, some pillows, or even clothes.
So, I just noticed this in the movie. If you go at about 10 minutes and 21 seconds, you'll see the blankets move behind them real fast while he's on the phone.
