lost you

I,m believing the driver forgot you were there also. bad but could have happen. you were then never seen over his hood in the traffic. he probally thought after you finally did become noticed > dam i may have been very close to that car, but never figured he was pushing you. did you blow a horn? or try slightly moving to left? this may have helped.
i too wasnt there.

Something is wrong with this story!

I don't think I agree with some of you guys. I think I have to agree with danc694u. Something is not right about littlekia's story. If she was maybe 16 then yes it would be believeable. But she is 32 years old. She should know to (a) Get the trucks tag number, it is on the rear of the truck also isn't it? (b) Get identifing information such as company name, truck color and description, description of driver, she says he waved to her and she waved back, this suggest she saw him clearly. (c) Call the police or have someone call for her is she did not have a cellphone! After-all even 16 year olds know they should report a traffic incident. She states there was damage to her vehicle. Not many of us would just let that go, we would be screaming for the police to stop that truck. Note, no police are called. Why not? No, this story is not adding up. If all of these other vehicles where witnessing this and were horrified as she states then why didn't someone call for the police? Why didn't she flag one of these honking, horrified cars over? Was everyone to upset to use a cellphone or did none of the other drivers have one either?

As for it being compared to a rape victim, I personally don't think it is even close. I am sure rape victims would agree. Is littlekia suggesting these members are picking on her because she is a woman, I don't see where the 'rape victim' comes into play here. All members where saying is if this incident occurred maybe it was an accident and not deliberate. Why is she being so defensive.

No littlekia it just doesn't make sense you would not make a report on this incident.

If the incident occurred, and I do say if, I would not think it was an accident as how could you be pushing a car with your truck and not feel the resistance?

My opinion of this, and it is just an opinion, is maybe the truck did not really 'bump' or 'push' littlekia. Maybe it was just so close on her rear it just scared her and that is what sparked this story. Kind of a little mouse hole turning into a lions den? Think about it, if you were in a little kia and this huge say Peterbuilt was maybe a foot from your rear bumper how it would look from inside the car?

Jeez...

I can't believe this thread has been revived! I think it is safe to say it caused a ruckus almost a year ago when it first started.

This kind of things simply will not happen if everyone would just drive a semi as their daily driver...


That is one scary truck BTW. I would not want that behind me, even if he waved me off!

Kia if you would like to get an eye opening experience about what its like to drive a truck and what a driver can see .....I will be more than willing to show you. You can pm me here I will give all personal info so you can feel safe.
I work for Texas Department of Criminal Justice so I have been checked out very throughly. Trust me Death row is a playground compared to riding in that KW900.
Hey I hope you wear a gray uniform not a white one.LOL Hope you can take a jole.?

And, I stand by my original comments. Because.... I said it...I believe it. Just as she believes this was a deliberate attempt by a truck driver to play a game.

She now returns to the board, and compares us to people who disbelieve rape case victims. Sympathy...and it worked too. Look at the number who backed down. And for what reason? Because she called you on it.

Our original post were sympathetic, and we tried to explain how it could have occured without the drivers knowledge...IE accident.

She continues with the ....BAD trucker, now including the members who have commented on her continued attempts at trying to get sympathy and reinforcement of her belief that the truck driver done this intentionally.

Having 3 members of my family raped in the past, and having her state that the people who tried to provide her some closure on this issue as being like others who do not believe rape victims.....pretty much tells me what she is about.

Again this is not about whether the event happened. No one has accused her of lying. It is about whether it was intentional or a game...See her original post!!!

No not a game but why bring up something like RAPE?? Maybe that should tell us something??Some hate truckers for diff.reasons
