Get real. I'll go take some pictures from a modern truck
Yes I have driven large vehicles... That’s why I don’t buy it.
have you ever driven a large vehicle?
and this is the reason i don’t hang around semi trucks on the highway. i’m either gunning it and getting ahead, or hanging back and letting them go.
Correct, and trucks are also way heavier than cars too. Even hard impacts that would severely injure or kill the cars driver would be barely felt by the trucker. When the tail end of a trailer behind the rear axles swings out from a hard corner, it can even “catch” a car and take it for a ride without the driver…
Except this seems to have happened in the far right lane, so unless she passed on the shoulder she passed on the left.
From the direction of the car, it seems to have been from the right side also. Even worse.
It’s a shame that Fifth Gear is gone.
No, a smart person doesn’t say anything. A smart person doesn’t speak to the media until they’ve consulted an attorney.
I remember when that story got cross posted to Gawker from here, all the nitwits were complaining about Semi’s driving too slow and that it was the truckers fault. God people are stupid.
Meanwhile, here is the trucker, minding his own business, and this lady gets all up in his grille.
“she blinked and then found herself trapped against the truck.”
Everyone has those days. Sometimes you just need to push through.
Pushed. Pushed would be the correct word.
A Chinese Peterbilt.
So she went to cut in front of the semi, clipped it with her left rear and got turned into the semi basically PIT maneuvering herself?
mud is usually a by product of running off road and flipping at 100+mph
Mud is generally found around the perimeter of roads.
I wish they made these new somewhere. I love the styling.
