Date: 2014-06-20 09:42 pm (UTC)Normally, VDOT trucks drive at a snail's pace. They also stop as soon as they see anyone, even if you're behind them. You have to squeeze by it is so tight - 10 feet, tops.
In this case, the guy was doing about 25 mph initially, slowed down to 18ish, and seemed to have no idea he was supposed to stop.
The impact was actually from my thumb smashing door handle which, in turn, froze the brakes and sent me hurtling. shoulder hit the mirrow which, fortunately, gave way.
I spoke out, otherwise.
