    Are you completely nuts?? You seriously think he did the right thing by avoiding a potentially minor sideswipe and put himself and his sons life in severe danger?? I hope I never have to drive on the same highway as you. Are you willing to die for a stupid stranger??

    Well you see that's the problem. As truck drivers our lives have no meaning. If this driver were to have side swiped a car, he would've been fined, the car would've claimed injury thus resulting in the truck driver losing his job and a higher insurance claim quite possibly a lawsuit and civil suit and the list goes on and on. That's the way society views us as truck drivers. We have no worth in this world we are below poverty in most peoples eyes. They don't care about us.

    he probably just swerved from instinct, like any of us super truckers would do if we were not sitting in front of a computer screen. ..

    NO WAY! Why would you risk killing yourself and your kid by jerking the wheel like that? So we should give up are lifes every time a car does something dumb I don't think so! If that was me I'd hit the brakes hard and keep my lane let it go from there.
