Not bad. I'd give it a 6. Nothing like the crashes in Russia.

The Russian crashes have nothing on this. They said the trucker & his seven year old son were not injured, PTL.

Luckily, no one was in the through lane to the right when the trailer got blasted across the road...

Trying to save an extra 30 seconds by not waiting for the road to be clear wound up costing a lot more time and money.

I thought the Smith system of driving was just a bunch of BS but I always look left, then right, then left again while bobbing in the seat now. Only takes a split second to miss something in the blind spots of your pillars.

Glad no one was hurt here.

I hear that Cabin - especially these 21st century vehicles with their 2' wide A and B pillars. What a friggin joke! My truck is one big blind spot. Cars are even worse! :x

HA! Yeah I spend hours watching the Russian vids. Great stuff there. And I though Asians were bad drivers ... toothy

Had that trailer been loaded I think it would have turned out I little differently.
