she didn't pace me.... I believe that is what's known as "english" when I clipped her spinning vehicle with my glancing hit-- it sent her along a parallel course-- yes, pacing right there beside my rig the whole time-- there's no way I could have stayed on the road-- without going over her with the trailer.

Also, notice in the first picture-- how lucky, how close I came to taking down that over-freeway sign-- just 20 or 30 feet sooner-- I'd had a pole through my cab-- that overhead sign would have came down across the hi-way-- and then there would have been many more secondary collisions.

 

Are you done shaking now???

Did you get to a clinic and get the wizz test done..BEFORE you sat down and had a couple???

You did good fella. Your alive.

She is alive. (Is she a good lookin young lady???)

You had a truck that was still useable...after some minor repair work.


Sure as hell beats the alternatives.

 

shaking...no...i didn't shake-- except for the cold air-- i was soaking wet- and to stand around the shoulder of the road for 5 hours.

no shaking-- I was more like numb....stunned that so much could happen in a blink of an eye.

No whiz test...yet... Not At Fault...though I'm sure Monday Post accident?

there was just several Huggs between me and the lady( 2 years older)-- yes, she was nice and attractive....reminded of this-- as I climbed out the driver's door like a u-boat captain-- Picture-- water pouring down thru the conning tower hatch-
there she was just standing there-- and her first words were ---"are you Ok?"



But the woman was wearing underwear. Soaking wet just the same.





hit her head on--- she was spun 180 degrees facing me-- and I managed to only clip her with the corner bumper----
I'm sure, had I hit her square on--full force- I'd been having that whiz quiz last night, and this would have had a completely different -- tragic ending-- by the time they finished combing thru the wreckage-- trying to figure out where/what angle the first impact was---the scene wouldn't have been so -- straight forward.



found her Hood ornament -- half way down the bank in the path my truck plowed.

 

T'is a far far better thing to have her standing there doing the; "Are you ok??" thing......


Then to find her standing there doing the; "You rotten @#$%$#@%*(%$ truck drivin piece of &^$@@%*( look what you did!!!" thing.



OK....Saddle UP !!!




Oh yeah...fergot to mention....when her friends are done puttin crap in her ears...Your gonna get sued so bad!!!!!


:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :P


But only AFTER her friends are done puttin crap in her ears!!!!

 

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of most--- is the Oh crap-- next day--- joy of being alive wares off-- and now it's neck pain, etc.

I was just glad, she didn't change her story - right there when the police arrived. And a dozen people witnessed her-- leaving with her Husband with no injury.

 

So did you save the hood ornament so you could mount it on your drivers door?????

J/K

 

See-- this shows you've been driving too long--- My wife would say this is a very Negative Attitude to have-- believing everyone in the world is out to
Sue/ screw you over.
She tells me all the time, trucking has made me so PARANOID ---- Glad to see I'm not the only one.

P.S. it's kinda mean of you to LOL about a fellow driver --- getting sued

 

Seriously...I doubt you get sued by her. Heartland yeah maybe...but if she is really from that area...Your gonna get cards every so often maybe...but not sued.

And..you didn't look at the ( :P ) at the end of the :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: !

 

i'm g ad to hear that you are both o.k....... 8)

 

Glad you're ok HB.
