Hello,
It matters not what you drive,just hope you don't turn into a vegetable if you have an accident.
I drive on Gt Eastern Hwy,once a fortnight,just 200k's,and there are an equal amount of idiot car drivers and truckies and I don't want to get hit by either,but the
OP was very lucky,so was the truckie!
Every time I drive past an accident scene between a bike and car I am of the opinion the bike rider died!
And,if I see a car crushed by a truck,even a 4 tonner never mind a triple full of ore then I assume the car driver is dead, its just an assumption,sometimes I think if they lived would they be better off dead!
Sometimes I think "don't drive" if it scares you being on a congested road,or open road with big trucks if you are a nervy sort of person.
People cause accidents,not the vehicles they drive!
Cheers Billy.
