I must say that your composure is truly inspirational, and there’s simply no doubt that this could happen to anyone…A few months ago a fella and his wife got distracted by conversation while driving his new Lance beneath a low hanging awning at a nearby Sinclar gas station…Nearly sheared the air conditioner off the roof…De-aired the rear tires down to about 1” and slowly crept out…
I myself had the left rear jack sheared off by a distracted feral human chit-chatting on her cell phone with young children in her car - crossed over the yellow line, hit the left side dually before bouncing off the rear jack and hitting another car…Knocked my rear axle back about 1.25”, but totaled out her borrowed, unregistered, uninsured junker…Even with 2 witnesses on site the Sacto Cops wouldn’t even write an accident report, or gather any info (a resource thingy…), City Cop merely stopped to inform her that it was her responsibility to her to get her demolished vehicle towed off the street (all air bags went off), then casually drove off…Kinda appeared to me that Sacto had gone third world…Nearby permanent tent dwellers only added to this perception…
I just counted my blessings as it might easily have been a head on…Thankfully my insurance kicked in…
