Almost died in the Z

shenlong1337 · 09-18-2015, 06:36 PM

On interstate 75 heading home from work when a semi decide to almost run me over. He probably didn't realized the split in the road merged at this point or was not looking for vehicles under 40 tons.

If I had not of hard braked his trailer would of likely ran over the Z given how low it is.

Glad to see you reacted quickly to avoid a collision.

What an a$$hole!!!

Memphis370Z · 09-18-2015, 07:18 PM

Glad you're OK. Usually, tractor trailer drivers are some of the best on the road.

cooltoy · 09-18-2015, 07:19 PM

Good save.

SouthArk370Z · 09-18-2015, 07:24 PM

Day-uhm!

Good reaction on your part.

YzGyz · 09-18-2015, 07:24 PM

Yikes! That was close...

SwissCheese · 09-18-2015, 08:26 PM

That was a close one! Glad you made it out of that one.

You should share this in the dash cam thread as well!

damn! Good reflexes and good sport brakes.

BoneZ · 09-18-2015, 08:31 PM

Phone not cooperating. Making a note to look when I get home.

Great reaction on your part, you definatly saved your Z from being totaled. I am a truck driver and like Memphis370 said the majority are good drivers, but unfortunately the industry is being flooded with individuals that have no business being behind the wheel of a 18 wheeler.

Here is small list on companies all you guys need to watch out for

Prime (almost hit you shenlong)
JBhunt
US xpress
Swift
CRST
Werner

Jesus dude........... That truck needs to

Nice reaction in tight quarters sir!

37zeroZ · 09-18-2015, 09:09 PM

Wow, that was close.

Still can't get that gay music out of my head. For the PC crowd, gay also means jovia, happy, good-spirited and excited.
