Hi guys
I thought I post this so and make a point of it / lesson.
Monday Morning about 1 am was raining like it crazy while me, my missus and her friends were coming back form an engagement party on the free way.
I had a few at the party and so have the friends who were seated in the back while I was in the shotgun seat with girlfriend driving.
At this point a B Double truck ( a huge bastard ) caught up to us and I thought he will overtake but he just ended up staying next to us like a convoy.
While talking to the friends over the shoulder and say the famous Dave Chapples line “ I wish I had four thumbs so that I could them titties four thumbs down!”
I see the truck drifting across the lane and coming straight for us at which point I knew it was too late and that we will be hit yet I did not say a word ( I must have been very drunk)
Split second later we were stuck underneath the front of the trunk being pushed along the free way, all I remember is looking at the headlight and thinking “ this is it - what a shit way to go” then “ hmm I cant feel any pain must be all the adrenalin” all while the girls in the car screaming the scariest screams I have ever heard no joke!
Few seconds later ( which seamed like ages ) the truck was still on our right but we were going backwards down the free way hitting his right hand door or the wheel while being squished against the guard rail.
We kept on getting stuck on the truck and this lasted about 100 meters and all I could see was the tires trying to climb onto the bonnet - scary thoughts of being crushed rushed past thru my head followed by almost a feeling of a guard rail piercing thru my back my guts and coming out the front of the car no joke (yet that did not happen)
At this point the truck pulled away and drove down maybe 800 meters and stopped.
The door was stuck so smashed the rest of my window climbed out and pulled my girlfriend out the car thru the window and said some nasty words for the stunned / shocked friends to get out of the car as it was sticking out onto the freeway fast lane and in the rain I was sure it would be hit again.
My girlfriend literally lost her plot for few minutes and was collapsing scaring the shit out of me and the girl and the guy were drunk and walking like dazed people on the freeway so I would grab them and drag them to the centre median and then attend my girlfriend as by then she would be on the freeway grrrrrrrr this kept on happening until and ambulance that was driving past pulled over and gave me a hand.
While the ambos helped I ran to the truck to take photos and the dude jumps out - he said he was too scared to come out as he thought he killed us and did not want to see ( pu&&y ) is basically what I called him.
The truck barely had any scratches and tiny bend that’s all while the car looked like it had bee squeezed thru a hole not designed for it – just mess a complete write off.
Cables cut thru the metal wheels bent on funny angles and so fort.
One lesson I have learned DO NOT DRIVE NEXT TO THE TRUCK simply not worth it, I have never cared and would convoy them for a long time if they chose to be doing same speed as me but as of now, well never again will i be cruzing next to the trucks.
Before you ask I will say that it was her car a little Hyundai Lantra and not my VR4 (which kind of sucks because it is insured for a lot more than its worth like 19k hmm I could a nice VR4 for that much and have money to modify it)
We all are ok just a bit shook up, sore and well when you go bed or have free time the thoughts of the moment come back and scare the crap out of you.
