    You'd be lucky to get the tractor over that quick, it would be up to the oncoming guy to get out of the way of the trailer. Got a good look on a big screen, this pic is exactly 1 second before they would have collided if the pickup didn't move over.

    Remember kids, never say never. The crowd that says 'never leave your lane, never swerve, it's better to swap some paint' wouldn't survive something like that.

    If the pickup driver was just taking a quick look at a text...

    Taking a quick peek in the back seat...

    Just glancing at their map...

    Trying to skip forward to their favourite song on the CD...
