Default My closest call yet.

Ridin in to work about 10:30 last night northbound on 75 in Mckinney and nearly rear ended one of those new box trucks without the box on the back. Usually they piggy back these things to deliver them. There were two of them parked at the end of the Louisiana St entrance ramp. I'm going down the hwy in the left lane (2 lanes)about 70. Just as I am cresting the top of the overpass they take off. Lead truck takes the right lane and from a dead stopthe second truck jumps out into the left lane right in front of me. Hit the brakes and locked up the rear, got a little squirrelly on me for a second but managed to keep it upright. I then get in front of the *** and hit the brake and did the only other thing I could do at the time, theone finger salute. I guess they had walkies cause this person dropped back and stayed there. Thought I'd save a little time by goin down the hwy rather than the back way, guess I need to rethink that.

I'm Glad you avoided the accident. Sometimes even when you are watching, they are not.
