    Accidents either happen in the first 2 years of a driving career, or after about 10 years when confidence exceeds common sense. You will be extra careful for the next few months because your accident will be fresh in your mind. Use it as a learning experience and truck on. You will be a better driver because of this experience!:biggrin_2558:

    Yes you can, but that makes for either missing a weeks pay or 2 short weeks.

    I've never hit anything but I'm not foolish enough to believe I'm so good that's it's not possible. This stuff happens, you will be better for this.

    Where ever a Big truck may be at the time
    is a good time to be extra careful.
    I agree with Skyviper and Ethos.
