Rickr333 I know exactly what you mean, driving a heavy vehicle requires a person to have great patience, planning, and observational skills. Every input is timed and precise, yet other road users who are driving much smaller, lighter and more maneuverable vehicles are completely oblivious to you or display erratic, dangerous driving behavior in order to avoid or get infront of the big scary truck/crane etc.
More importantly Jenna it is certainly a great shame concerning your mishap but the most important thing is you are alive. If I had to make the choice I would trade any car for my well being. Obviously we all hope you find yourself a nice new means of transport and don't have too many issues regarding the nastys of a collision
