I was hit yesterday by a distracted, probably texting driver.

#### lucky your tank didn't get punctured!

 

1st thing is you are OK and held a good line keeping you vehicle upright and in your own lanes. 2nd is she survived. Can make more trucks and cars. We get biannual simulator training for just such things. She messed up and you did right by not making dramatic turn or swerve that might bring many others into situation. Good job.

 

wow! do you have insurance ?

 

Holy ####.....all that from a car.....

Could have been much worse.....

 

Wow. I know this is late, but glad to hear everything is okay.

 

There's adults out there that aren't any better then the teen drivers.


After being in a head-on accident myself, yours turned out better than mine, good job keeping control of the truck the best you could.

 

Wow Triad. Sounds like you had a real OH #### moment there. Glad you were not hurt any worse than you are. Just a tip for you though. You might want to rethink your statement about watching the car next to you. I can hear the attorney for this other driver, when he has you on the stand at trial. . .
"So tell me Mr. Triad, you were not paying attention to your driving, so you did not see this car coming directly for you?"

Believe me, if this goes to court, you don't want to give the opposition's dirt bag, er scum bag, er I mean ATTORNEY any ammunition. They will take it out of context, twist your words, and try to make the whole accident YOUR fault.

 

IMHO it's worse than DUI, at least at lower blood levels like 3 or 4 beers.

 

Don't worry about CNG. If the tank punctures it will naturally dissipate into the air and has no bad side effects for the environment. No boom-boom, class 4 tanks rated to 10,000 PSI.

Good that you're okay, sorry about the lost truck and I hope replacement goes fast for you. Thanks for sharing the pictures also. I was rear ended by a guy on his laptop last winter, pick up truck totalled and my trailer bumper just had a scratch on it.
