Default Drive Safely

I have no idea why I'm sitting here typing this. Friday at about 11 am after leaving school I was in a hellious car accident. I don't know why I'm alive, but I am. I was driving, about 55, roads were a little wet and a car stopped kinda suddenly in front of me, and I couldn't stop. I lost control went into the other lane, and got smashed by an 18 wheeler going 60 mph...

I have a broke nose...my whole body is seriously bruised, i have some cuts over my eye and his fender came in my truck and cut the back of my head.....it's amazing I'm alive seriously..

Please people slow down when the weather is rough. I have no vehicle now..it literally almost split my truck in half...


Chris

That's awful! I hope that you are feeling better very soon. Thankfully things were not a lot worse.

Exclamation Sad to here...

but hope you'll be alright.

I never worry about my driving ability (No tickets in 15+ years) but other numbnuts worry me when they think the 65MPH speed limit (75MPH on the turnpikes) is just WAY too slow and they can pass me in a no-pass section with other vehicles coming in the opposite direction.

I'm VERY GLAD you are alive. Sounds like you were wearing your seatbelt. Were you?
