I nearly got squashed by a truck today!!!
On my way to work at 6.40 this morning I was heading to 805 East from Mission Center Road - That nasty left turn on top of the bridge that filters from two lanes to one directly after turning through a 120 degree blind left.
There was a large truck pulling a trailer which was almost the size of the truck itself, it was turning in the outside lane, I took the inside and pushed the S02's hard around the tight curve to head down on the ramp in the hope of nipping ahead. I got half way past the truck but the lane was getting thin way too quick and then the bastard started drifting over!!!!! I stood on my brakes with both feet whilst pushing the car tight over to the left curb and held my breath as 40 tons of trailer skimmed past my wing mirror, fortunately missing me by a hair........sheeesh
I have to calm my ass down before I get myself killed, or even worse, damage the S.
