i was sideswiped by a semi going north from las vegas;. went thru the canyon north of mesquite, and was passed several times by a semi. when her finally got near me the lase time, he apparently had a little road rage, and sideswiped me.
he wouldnt stop to exchange insurance info. he destroyed my rear view mirror.
i called 911, and reported him. the utah dps caught him and had him return to the flying j lust south of cedar city. utah officials called arizona dps and had them handle the report, and the tickets.
they asked him how fast he was going. he said 65 mph. i told them the speed limit was 55 in that area. ticket #1 speeding
he refused to stop for me when i signaled him. ticket #2 failure to stop at an accident.
i told them he had not signaled a lane change. ticket #3 failure to signal lane change.
the officer asked him if he reported the accident. he said there was no damage that he saw, so he didnt report it. ticker #4 failure to report an accident.
if you are wondering why the officers were so hard on him? when he came up to me at the beginning, he said one of the officers was a real smart a==, and that i had no business reporting him. after all, he was a professional driver, and i was in his way. just a side note, over the last 15 years, i have put over 400,000 miles on three motorhomes.
i simply went over to the officers and asked "which one of you is the smart a++,
they wanted to know where i got that from. i pointed to the driver.
i went as far to email his boss, and send him a bill for my new mirror. the boss apologized, and paid the bill without questioning.
