when i was driving trucks, roll off and box trucks, my god the dumb that goes on all day is mind blowing.
i had one guy cut in front of me then slam his brakes to get to a entrance of a store all while doing 55 mph. how i didnt hit him ill never know. the car next to me ( little old lady) stopped next to me at the next light and asked if i was ok, cause she was still shaking lol
then i had this dope of a woman slam her brakes for a yellow light, she got hit with 36,000 lbs of roll off truck. punted her ass 30 feet across the intersection. there was a cop parked across the highway. im sure the lady slammed her bakes cause she saw the cop sitting there.
but really who slams the brakes with out a quick look in the rear view? best part is. the cop,( cutest female cop i ever saw) asks me what happened, i say, my worst nightmare, she slammed on her brakes and i could not stop. i told her the light turned yellow, and i had no intentions of stopping cause there was no way i could have stopped in time, but she must have seen you parked over there and nailed her brakes, ( her back bumper was past the stop line when she stopped) 10 seconds later or less, i almost had it stopped, all but 10 mph maybe and bam!!!!
i drove off with no tickets, she left in a ambulance. and her car was totaled. i had to chain up the bumper to a light pole and back up and pull the brand new chrome bumper off the tire. that was it. boss was pissed, it was a 1500 dollar bumper, like a month old.
