Oh you know that guy filled his shorts hahahahah I only laugh because that happened to me, coming in from Bakersfield down to Burbank on the I-5, my dad had put too much weight on the back of the trailer and I was going too fast, the trailer started to swap/sway so hard my arms were almost yanked out of my sockets, I panicked and slammed on the brakes ..... OH $^%&, thank goodness the 18 wheeler saw my dilemma and he pulled across all 5 lanes of traffic to prevent me from hurting anyone else and I jack knifed and slammed into the center divider ! Totaled the truck, thank goodness it was a HUGE Ford truck and shredded the tires off the rims from it sliding sideways. This was in the 80's, my dad and brother were asleep, the last thing my dad heard me scream was 'We're all gonna die' He woke up as we hit, we were all good but boy did I have the worst case of whiplash ! I'm a much better driver now and drive the speed limit in a trailer !
