He has had quite a few close calls from asshole drivers on the road. With all the posts like this on social media and they still don't fkn get it. Like they think a truck carrying 150 plus tons on the back can just stop on a dime. Then when the accident happens and there is a death they blame the truck driver. Thank God most of them have dash cams now. I have told my hubby a few times if it means them or you take them out. I do not want to become a widow because of some asshole. If my hubby dies that other idiot better be dead or I will make sure he is later. People need to show respect to truck drivers because without them they would have nothing. If there were no trucks the world would be fucked in a month. AthenA 1

The pro's are suppose to be able to see the idiots and avoid them. Not ram them or OMG push the car to a place the Truck driver feels is a safer place to pull over. Still though its all true. Now up here in the winter white lands where we drive on the right side of the road it gets even more interesting. Awards

It was a 2 lane road. He had to push the car to a safe place so no one else could get hurt. I bet he had a few choice words for that car driver though lol 6 hours ago, Labob said: nobody and I mean nobody turn your wheel to the ditch go straight and brake. STAY ON THE ROAD 9 out of 10 truck drivers will purposely go off the road to save the idiots life. If I was a truck driver I would be the 1 out of 10 that is not going to drive off the road because some asshole cut me off. I would take the idiot out.

STAY ON THE ROAD Some of those who turned into the ditch had no choice. I drive big rigs for a living and some of those accidents more than likely flattened the front tires, and when that happens the truck immediately pulls hard in the direction of the flat tire. I've had a steer tire blow out and I can assure you that it takes a lot of muscle to keep the truck going straight. bds1961 1 Awards

I drive the I-5 corridor between San Francisco and Seattle every week, and with all of the millions of people who live along that route, I see a lot of shit on a daily basis. The most fun I had last week was watching the California Highway patrol shut down a busy highway during rush hour and chasing a horse and a mule all over the place. bds1961 1 Awards
