Almost crunched by a trucker...

[fast95pony]

I was pulling onto Crowchild north off of Memorial. As I went around the bend , I ended up beside a trucker ,between the front and rear wheels of his trailer.We were moving at the same speed,when he decided to pull into my lane !!:banghead:
I jammed on the brakes and somehow he missed me,and the cars behind me stopped in time too.I managed to get in front of him to "salute" him through the sun roof.

Then I see him turn left across all three lanes to get onto 16th Ave.

I should have written down the name and plate on the truck,but at the time I was just glad the idiot hadn't crushed me !

Damn, your lucky man, same thing happened to me and luky as you were managed to avoid death.

that sucks. Im always scared with big trucks. They cant see as well down the side of thier vehicles so its easy to make a mistake. Especially considering some of the high caliber individuals there are driving the big rigs right now.

There was a case a couple years ago when a tire on a semi blew off the rim and went into oncomming traffic, going through the front windshield, killing the front 2 passengers and injuring the infant child in the back car seat.:( :(

that would be pretty crapy. But that wouldnt be the truckers fault. Cutting someone off pretty much is.

My friend's brother lost a Mustang GT that way. A semi lost a tire and it flew right into his car. Luckily he was ok, but the GT was a write-off :(
