Almost killed someone.

It was passenger side i thought. But yeah mirrors, mirrors, mirrors. And taking time to merge...

 

Thanks for sharing this humbling experience. That took guts driver. A humbling reminder for all of us to keep your eyes peeled & your wits about you. Glad everything worked out okay.

Stay safe.

 

I just started a thread in your honor krafty

 

Well it has been a long day the brain is a little slow Ha ha but' Mirrors are the key and again no one is perfect we are human we make mistakes but' the question is can we learn from those mistakes and try to do better next time,he will have this burned in his mind and added to his experience for the next round that come's around, we all fight the 4 wheeler' s all the time it is part of a Trucker's life,Keep faith in the lord and ease on down the road Amen!!!

 

Their fault for not making themselves more visible and being in your blind spot. You didn't take them out so it's lesson learned then. People these days don't understand the importance of headlights being on. And it baffles me why car manufacturers even make it an option to have a manual switch.

 

This happens to me all the time, I gave up trying to justify my lane changes or when someone is too stupid to turn their lights on when it is 4am.

 

Quit beating yourself up! This is on them more than it's on you. Just be grateful that the worst case scenario didn't happen, and move on.

 

Had an old timer tell me if I thought I was a good driver I should drive a car.

 

Amen! Amen! Amen!!!! Young man life goes on leave the past in the past reflect on it learn from it and move on,may you gain wisdom and much experience in your travel's on the long road's to come!!!Krafty24 keep faith in the Lord ask for his protection and guidance.

 

I don't want too sound like Mr. Know it all. I have done the same thing. So now I count too 10 before making lane changes.
