    Well, they stopped the video, but I imagine the guy got dragged for a while. This will be a tough call, but ultimately it will be the truck drivers fault. I mean, perfect timing, even Hollywood couldn't create this with one take, so, was it times up for the guy? While the Dr. Ed. dude seemed to make clear, a driver can't see you, that's true, but it's your responsibility, before you move, making sure nothing is in front of you. Be my last day in a truck that's for sure, regardless of the outcome, and doesn't look good. Maybe if you had 12 truck drivers on the jury, but people hate trucks with all the lawyer hype, amazing how ones life can change in an instant.

    It amazes me how many peopke walk in front of me and just keep their head down or play on their phone. Im akways looking up at the driver and I wave so they see some part of me when I walk in front.
