I was almost trapped under a semi today coming into work, because some truck driver thinks he can push us around .

Here I am about to exit the free in the second to the far right lane and coming up quick to the car in front of me, of course while I'm coming up on him the semi to my left turns he turn signal on. Well by the time he does that he doesn't have enough room in front of me to merge, so I assume (bad idea) that he would have some brain cells not to merge.

Well unfortunately for me there's another semi on my right, well if you guys have been following along, guess what I'm trapped, can't speed up (car in front), can't move over (semi to the right), and semi merging right on me.

So I slam on my brakes and he merges over, of course he never swerves back into his lane to avoid me (because that would be just too hard for him, jackass). I end up, luckily, only getting clipped by the semi on my right. Yep, another mirror knocked off (Some of you may remember me loosing my left one a couple months back). after I'm behind him I get next to his other side and pace his truck to see what he's got to say for his f$%^ing dumbarse, well not to my surprise he flips me off like I've done something wrong.

I just wish he would have pulled over so I could give him a peace of my mind.

I don't know what it is with me and my mirrors apparently the rest of the world thinks I don't need them.

Dang dude....you coulda been killed. So he didn't stop or anything? Did you get his plate number and call the cops? I would have.

^Yeah, I hope you at least got the company name. If you did, call as soon as possible and let them know what happened.

BigMURR

No company name visable, just a white trailer andn ot markings on the truck

matt_a

You should have just shoved back and pushed him off the road!

hmm good thought matt I'll do that next time.

"In this corner we have a returning champion Semi, weeeiiiighing in a 80000 lbs; in the other corner we have smmmmaaaall but deadly newcomer tC aka Trailer Crasher, weighing in at just over 2000lbs!"

LOL...just remember: It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog!

well nice write up on the subject, but too bad he knew I was there and knew what happened, hence why he had his middle finger was out ready for me before I even pulled up next to him because he knew I had to slam on my brakes and swerve around him. He assume I was going to slow down and let him in, which I didn't so in this case he was just being a d^ck.

draxcaliber

i know, i'm not saying that the truck driver wasn't being a d!ck, but be aware that they are and most likely if you colide with him, he will win. i just avoid them until i have a clear path to pass.

BigMURR

Yeah see normally I would never get myself into a situation like that except for I had to catch the exit comming up. I try my best to get the f away from them.

matt_a

All I have to do to totally freak my wife out, is drive next to a semi on the highway. If I don't pass them quick enough, she starts to spaz.

Dispatcher138

haha my girlfriend is the same way, she especially hates it when its raining and I'm matching speed with a semi..

Butane

Were you in his blind spot?

willingwelli

Sorry to hear that man. That's why I try to stay away from the highway because semi's and I never get along. For some reason I'm a target to them.

BigMURR

Not when he first signalled to turn. He knew I was there; he acted like I was suppose to change my speed for him to get into my lane.

yeah I've been known to speed a hell of a lot to get away from trucks, personally I think it's safer to do so.

you're from kennesaw. you have your gun on you, right?(as per the local law states) i say you had just cause to defend yourself. should ashot out his tires or possibly at him. he was, after all, trying to kill you. it sounds extreme, but had you not been able to get out of the way, he would have been looking at, probably, involuntary manslaughter... even though you knew otherwise.

and remember to keep that sidearm on you. it's your civic and lawful duty in that town.

BigMURR

^^^ haha yeah too bad this happened in Atlanta and the liberal minds there don't look kindly on gun possession or defense.

As of right now I'm breaking the law because I just moved to kennesaw in July and I haven't bought a gun yet. As far as the law states: "the head of the house must have in his possession a firearm with ammunition". (this is by the way one reason the crime here is next to nothing.)

i know. i agree with that idea. people are less likely to become victims if they are armed with the proper tools.
