Re: [a/s] The accident was not our fault. Fr: Ruth & Dan

Probably never -completely.  I haven't even been hit by a semi but I hold my 
breath every time we are next to one, especially when there is one in both 
lanes next to us.

A few years ago a friend was hit by a semi on her way to work.  I don't 
remember the exact details but the police report had her changing lanes when 
she hadn't been.  She was just so happy to be alive that the report errors 
didn't bother her too badly.

I have always been an admirer of truck drivers -- on the highways.  But 
around heavy commute traffic they are terrors.  I've had them climbing up my 
tailpipe when every lane in front of me is full of traffic and no way to 
speed up or get out of their way.  Whenever I listen to the morning traffic 
reports for the entire SF Bay area there always seems to be an accident 
somewhere that involves a "big rig".  I just heard a report on tv about 
people who had gotten  a license by bribery for driving big rigs without 
taking ANY tests.  This was in Illinois and then they could take that license 
to their own state and get a license there with no problems.  Some of them 
had just gotten here from other countries - scary, huh?!
