    I'm confused again!

    If yours could do 165, yet you wrecked at 145....does the air born speed during flipping count for forward motion?:biggrin_25511:

    One more question: Did you report this accident to your recruiter after truck driving school?:biggrin_25525:

    Car would go 165 but when I wrecked I was only doing 145... I was on a ramp after all.. the guy I was chasing wrecked in front of me and to avoid t-boning him I took to the median and broadsided a pole. At that moment in time I was radioing my location to the post and as I hit the pole everyone in the state heard me say " Ahhhh F____ !!!!!" Then a loud boom.

    you know.. I actually did get wrote up for the wreck since it was considered a single vehicle accident because I never hit the other guy.

    23 years ago, when I was in Truck Driving School. I will always remember the Instructor telling us (on/for the record), "Make sure you hit the vehicle that caused the accident".

    Sounds like something a proctologist would treat after a nasty bout of seafood poisoning.

    Side note: Ever notice how people are quick to claim good examples as their own behavior, but nobody ever seems to admit to practicing the bad examples, even though those bad examples are prevalent?

    Food for thought.

    "food for thought" immediately following "proctologist" and "seafood poisoning"?

    Remind me to not let this guy buy me lunch or even dinner!:biggrin_25512:
