    Yesterday was about a week past my five year mark being over the road, all but eight months of it here at Abilene. I ended the day unintentionally parked next to my father's rig in a truckstop in Georgia. First time it's ever happened since I started driving.

    Got rear-ended on I20 today in LA. Car burned to the ground. Kid driving had no license, never owned one and never drove before today. Not sure if they took him to jail though.

    And somehow, someway, it will be your fault. :/ Hope you’re ok.

    Glad you’re ok and the kid is also. Let the insurance companies straighten it out.

    Did you save the dash cam recording at the moment of impact? That will show your lane position which becomes your ally. Also, they will download the ECM to show what your speed was. As long as you had proper lane control, were not doing anything less than the flow of traffic, you’ll be fine. Do you have your own dashcam?
