a friend of mine--why you wear your seatbelt

[H_O]

a car cut him off, and end up rolling the truck.

it took three hours for the fire dept to get him out of the wreck. he broke all his ribs, his back in two places, ruptured his spleen, punctured a lung, and has 17 fractures in his face which is going to require reconstructive surgery, and they had to put him in a drug induced coma.
he got a helicopter ride off the highway to Sunnybrook health science centre.

a friend told me that his truckdriver friend swears that he won't swerve for any car driver, because it's much harder and deadlier for him to swerve a big, loaded truck. either the car driver get out the way, or them get runover.

my rule is, if someone does something idiotic, thats going to result in a accident- im at least taking a piece of the car for evidence , and usually, its a big piece..

don't drive too closely to truckers either. that's their blind spot and they can't see you, even with their mirrors.
