Well I was trying not to talk about why it was in the shop........ but Fine.........

A SEMI TRUCK HIT ME AND KNOCKED MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR SMOOTH OFF!!!!!!! I was out on the side of the freeway changing a fuze that had blown (been having trouble with the electrical system) and I went to get back in the car, I got in and shut the door but it didn't latch all the way (did shut it hard enough) and a semi truck drove by right at that moment. Now he was swaying back and forth dipping his tail into the emergency lane and when he drove by me (In the emergency lane) the vaccumm his truck created sucked my door open and underneath his back tires.................

Now when this happened I was sitting in the car, So Imagine how it looked from my point of view. All I saw was my door swing back open, go right underneath the tires on the DAMN SEMI TRUCK. and just fold up underneath the tires. I just sat there speechless and I heard my girlfriend Screaming and Crying (she was in the car behind me).

Needless to say the truck didn't stop at all. So me and my insurance have to take care of it.......... This is why I took a break from Automotive forums....... I didn't wanna talk about this.......

Here are pictures.......

That's fucking ridiculous man. I'm very sorry to hear that. And I am in no way surprised that he didn't stop (i'm sure he noticed what happened), truck drivers are notorious assholes.

That's ownage right there...

Sucks that it happened to your baby though. I can relate. I've been in quite a few accidents myself, and I know how it is to not be able to drive your car, nonetheless just watch it in the shop. Seems like it takes forever to get your car back too whenever they are at the shop.

He started tailgating me, (within a foot or 2) instead of passing me in the other lane. So i blipped my brakes to get him off. He passed me and while doing so, he started coming straight into my lane (at a rapid rate). I had no where to go but the inside shoulder of the highway which almost caused me to wreck (it wasnt much more than a dirt ditch with some trees) and with 4,000 lbs of building material in the back of my truck I would have been dead. Now I consider this a threat to my life, an unwarranted threat at that. Now I am not a violent or savage person in the least, but I will defend myself if need be. He is a lucky man in that I was not carrying my gun in my truck that day, or his life may have been threatend as well (I have the right to defend my life and will do so if need be). This is not the only problem I have personaly had with truckers either, nor is it the only time i've heard of others having problems with them. I have spoken with many semi drivers about these incidents and they have confirmed that fact that many drivers they know of do the same thing for fun (or because they just don't give a flying fuck).

Being a large vehicle operator myself I can understand the stresses of driving a large vehicle in traffic, but many truckers can be down right malicious for no reason what so ever.

Sorry to jack your thread savior, just explaining my motivations to kids that can't comprehend.

There are some truckers out there that are straight up ass holes. I have seen them grind their wheel right into someone's door while they were driving and the prick didn't even stop, just kept on going.They always are in the passing lane too. They are slow as shit when nobodys in front of them and they want to pass you when ever they are in back. Its like the whole trucking industry caught a bad case of lead dog syndrome. What they did to your door dosn't surprise me but it pisses me off none the less. I hope it gets fixed as good as new.

savior, holy shit dude. that's sick. good thing the wind didn't suck your ass right out with door.

and as far as i'm concerned truck drivers are some of the best drivers you'll find. never had a problem before with one.

Twizted_3KGT · #12 06-05-2005, 07:53 PM

LOL that's hilarious, I can't believe that happened!! Just the vacuum was enough to rip your door off? He didn't actually hit you at all?? That's crazy! Oh yeah well not funny for you, glad your ok and hope everything works out and sorry it happened, but that's a story you can tell for the rest of your life.

CBFryman · #13 06-05-2005, 08:14 PM
