    Ah come on,
    At least he DID "GOAL", though...lol
    Favorite part was the "hold head" technique.

    Another question;

    Who is teaching newer drivers to just jump out in front of a faster moving truck?

    With all due respect -- a driver who thinks on that level (and I use the term "think" rather loosely here) would likely not survive for very long at one of the better "starter" carriers, anyway....:dontknow:

    Okay, we can just about all agree what a foolish mistake this was, but the bigger picture, is a site dedicated to truckers mishaps, "Bonehead Truckers",,,nice, made by people that never turned a wheel in a truck, but boy howdy, it's fun to pick on them. I say BOOO, and anyone affiliated with
    "Bonehead Truckers", should have to find their own food and goods, miserable bastxxxs, the truck? I say the 4 wheeler got what they deserved, and I've seen many times, frustrated drivers with no place to turn around, say, screw it, me included, some times with poor results, but make no mistake, for every U turn that goes bad, like here, 4,000 times, the driver makes the swing, if some shumck not paying attention does this.

    That guy in the USA truck was flustered. If he would have just calmed down for 2 minutes and taken a deep breath, he would have realized that all he needed to do was to back up 50 ft. and then make a left on the street that you see there. The guy behind him filming could have helped him out while he was backing up. I've been in worse situations and found that just keeping a cool head will open your eyes to what you don't see when you are blind with stress.
