mike1987 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 This morning on my way to work i was side swipped by a semitrailer, he didnt stop but as my car was still i running order i belted after and managed to pull him over. he claimed he didnt notice anything which may be the case. i was in the far left lane when the truck came speeding past on the right of me and his trailer veered over the lane and slammed into the drivers side of my car. ive never been so scared in my life. the damage isnt to bad relatively speaking. here are some pics: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/151342-i-was-hit-my-semi-trailer-this-morning/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

TokyoTaxi Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Do you think maybe he just didn't like the sticker's on the side of your car ?!?! j/k Glad you're OK and big bonus that you got him !

Primordial Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Holy crap!! You're lucky you werent wiped out completely! I guess you got his details then? Truckies dont usually care about this sort of stuff.. The trucking company, or the business he works for will sort it all out. I had a truck roll back into me, and the company sorted it all out without a problem.
