GL with everything, and take care

 

Really sorry to hear this mate! got pics?

 

That sucks. Glad you are OK though. It gets ugly when cars and semis tangle.

 

You should quit playing 'chicken' with those semi trucks :2_lol:

Seriously sorry about the accident. They are a real headache. Glad you are alright, and hope everything works out.

 

Wow, pictures I am sure would be very interesting. Glad to hear you are ok though.

 

sorry to hear man.........at least you got the 2 chicks in your avatar to make you feel better LOL

 

ay, really sucks about your car but omfg, don't fret.. your avatar is Absolutly amazing!:3_winkthu :3_hypocri

 

you got hit by a 18 wheeler and your alive

go get drunk

 

:3_withstu

 

So...Heading to the Hiway this morning, Cruising maybe 60 on an open street, some semi creeps across the road, I assume he will stop but obvious (from the title) not so lucky.

OK, sorry to sound like a jerk here but let me get the facts right:
- you were doing 60 on a regular street (ie speeding)
- saw the truck entering your lane and ASSumed he would stop but you did nothing to avoid the accident?

Sound like it was your fault to me.

Seriously, I'm sorry this happened and it's a shame but you should never ASSume in that situation. Glad you're OK. Hope everything works out for you.

 

Never knew you should avoid people who are coming up behind you.. See, I figure anyone coming up behind me would stop, what idiot wouldnt? :3_plzdie: And some "Open Streets" here in NY where I live are 55MPH Speed Limit.

 

yeah, theres a good amount of 55 mph streets around here too.

on a side note, seeing as how an airbag deployed im willing to bet the car is totaled

 

sorry, but i dont know a single person that doesnt go at least 5 over the limit... not like cops care. ive passed cops taking radar on the highway doing 74 in a 65 and never once been pulled over.

 

actually, if you swerve when an animal crosses your path, its deemed your fault for anything that happens. Just ask Nemo.....

on a side note, i saw a corvette's front end wedged under the back side of another car on 347 today... i actually laughed. It didn't look like anyone was hurt, so i didn't feel bad. Guess the guy in front shouldn't have assumed the vette was gonna stop... lol


And yes... ALWAYS yield to semi's.... it don't matter how fast you're going or how big your car is. They always win.... lol

 

im gonna have to agree with Nova on this one......i work with 18 wheelers all damn day.....it is definately not easy to drive a semi....especially my drivers are hauling anywhere from 80,000-100,000 GROSS precast concrete wall panels.......yes, granted they are supposed to be the more "professional" drivers, but you as the 4-wheeler need to be aware and more cautious....its not easy driving or turning a semi.....and visibility is more poor than driving a car (obvious) and they can not move as fast as a 4-wheeler (even more obvious). Points should be assigned to both parties cuz 1. The semi was blocking an open road during driving hours 2. You failed to yield to avoid a collission (there is no such thing as an accident)

 

yeah, I always yield to the semis on highway. I flash em so that they know they can change lanes and i hold up the traffic so they can get in. Its payed off in karma cause plenty of semis have let me slip past when one is trying to pass another...

 

dang dude that sucks, also im glad to hear your alright, poor tib though did you have Liability or full coverage?

and if so are you getting another tib or gonna get another car?

Best of luck mate!

 

ouch ! ! ! !

 

Glad to hear your ok! That sucks totally
But agreed with the avatar is ama za zing!

 

damn Nova, your on a roll tonight...

 

It must be that time of the month for me.

 

It must be that time of the month for me. blah.. blah blah blah!!

Yes, so...:3_plzdie:

:blahblah: :blahblah: :blahblah: :blahblah:

By the way, even my 75 year old grandma speeds. Oh my.

 

I was right, you do need help.

So...Heading to the Hiway this morning, Cruising maybe 60 on an open street,

Highway... normally a road that has a speed limit of 55+ and multiple lanes.

He was heading "TO the hiway". That means he wasn't ON a highway. He clearly stated he was "on an open STREET. Not a highway.

some semi creeps across the road, I assume he will stop but obvious (from the title) not so lucky.

Semi-truck starts to amble across the street without a care for traffic as they do near my warehouse on a daily basis. Most cars hit the brakes at the last minute because they're not used to dealing with truck drivers.

Right, the truck driver comes across the street and ex_swappage SEES this in front of him. Instead of slowing down because a vehicle is crossing his path (regardless that the truck was in the wrong) he chose to keep going. That was a bad choice by a poor driver. A good driver would anticipate the accident and drive defensively, not offensively.

 

wow regardless if it was his fault or not i dont believe this is a moment 2 judge him and point fingers you have probably been in a crash yourself ( not trying 2 assume) but you should know that situation sucks so have a little respect man.

 

OK. . .well looksl ike boys will be boys. . . perhaps we have all strayed away from whats most important here! Swapped is alive and well and whom ever is at fault it doesn't matter cuz you have your life and perhaps a nice big check on the way so best of luck and we should ALL just be a little more careful!

 

yeah guess it is your time of the month nova, maybe next week you'll be less crabby!

 

I think someone wants to be on lockdown.
