Wow

I was driving on a highway in KY this morning and it was raining like a bitch. The dude about 5 car lengths ahead of me lost control and started hydroplaning...he did a few 360's right before my eyes...a semi was on my right and we were both in the left lane, so I had no where to go. The feeling in my gut was 'I'm gonna die today'. I honestly felt like this was my last day on Earth. It all happened pretty fast. I remember my heart going into over drive, and I said "Awww shit...".

The trucker was on his game and slowed down to give me a way out...if he hadn't..I would have t-boned the dude ahead of me at 60 MPH or better, probably killing us both. I swerved to the right and almost lost control myself.

In an instant it was over...I looked in my side mirror and saw the dude spin out to a safe stop on the grassy median. I missed him by inches. Literally inches.

One or two seconds difference in reaction time of the trucker, and I would probably not be posting this.

Holy shit Jack Schitt!

Glad nothing bad happened. Don't know what I would do without my daily dose of the Schitt!

Glad you are alright.

Glad to hear you're OK. Sucks to think you might die from, well, anything.

WOW is right, what an amazing story!

I found especially interesting the part where you thought you were about to die,....it reminds me of dreams I've had where I know i'm about to wake up...except I don't usually...I keep dreaming some more haha

Seriously though, your story has touched me . I love to hear about amazing things like that.

I have a question about a detail though....had you liked started to slow down? or did you stay at the same pace? like, if you had slowed down, then the trucker must have slowed down even more (to let you pass), right?

 

[foreigngirl]

damn, Jack!!! You just jinxed yourself the other day with that tornado thread. Man, am I glad to know that nobody got hurt.

 

[hotzie]

Yeah, I started to put on the brakes..my first instinct, but I knew it was no use...I was gonna crash one way or the other. Trucker dude saved my ass by slowing down..once I noticed he knew what was going on, thats when I made my move around the spinning car.

Lucky as hell over here.

Never take anything for granted.
