I just don't want to be in this driver's shoes right now,bet you he is thinking it wasn't worth it being in a hurry.

A truck stop (especially a chain like Love's, Pilot, T/A) is a busy place. Everybody who is moving whether on foot or behind the wheel has to take extra caution and scan everywhere. This stuff doesn't happen often but once is too much. SLOW DOWN. Watch everything around you. Put down the phone. This goes the same if you're walking from or to your truck. It takes one second of inattention to cause an accident. Remember it's not just you or that individual, but a parent, a child, a sibling, a friend or whatever is missing their loved one because something else was more important. Guess what? It's not that important. Be safe.

the SMITH SYSTEM has a couple of keys in there that if u actually followed them they would work, also common sense has to be used while following the keys; 1 of them is GET THE BIG PICTURE aka know ur surroundings & expect the unexpected.
had a driver ran over a little girl in the spring @ the petro in okc, he was alert, said he was aware of his surroundings but, was driving like he was driving on the highway, now he's paying for it
