    Must be a Thailand person. They are bad over there about that crap. Bus or truck drivers hit and wreck take off on foot. Nope not me, I wasn't there they claim

    I blew a hydraulic line while pouring out in South Glendale. The shop sends the wrench out, and while he's fixing it the SCREACH, about 6 or 8 seconds of tires skidding, WHAM !!! Turned around when heard the screeching, watched this dude rear end this other dude sitting at a red light. I start running toward the scene, the sheriff that's doing traffic control starts running to the scene.
    In the blink of an eye, the dude that caused the accident slammed his pick up into reverse, burnt the tires in reverse, slammed into drive and gone down a side street.
    Now this isn't a behavior or an attitude that he adopted in the last 2 or 3 minutes. He's a dirtbag criminal. We, I'm going to include a lot of you ( lol ), have an attitude or a behavior adopted around safety. So if you think I'm un just in my chiding of some of the whine babies that post here, you know why. It's a behavior. Safe trucking, safe everything, is an attitude, and it's not something you just turn on or off.

    I,m sure you're right, wait it out in Mexico-cpl months or a year-come back under different identity.
    Go right back to driving truck.

    Thanks California!!
