    I hate it when that happens.

    How much effort does it take to put a semi on it's side?

    I remember a guy from my company in the Army laying a truck with a 40' S&P trailer on its side on an Autobahn exit ramp. Wasn't top heavy at all. Speed... going too slow pisses people off, going to fast kills them.

    Haha, so true. I never worry or care what's behind me. I focus on what's in front of me. I always say if they're in such a hurry they should have left earlier and they'd be in front of me!
     
    KMac and classic_150 Thank this.
