Crazy F'ing Driver
So after a perfect race weekend in Vegas, 2nd on Sat and 2nd on Sunday, I am returning my Race Trailer to storage ( Ford F-35o Dually plus 28 foot closed trailer w a golf cart inside) I am in the #2 lane on the 241 toll road when I notice an aggressive driver in the #1 lane closing fast on the car in front of. He locks up the brakes, goes sideways left then sideways right slides right in my path. I make hard impact w my RF on his LF fender( luckily not his door the CHP said he would have been seriouly injured) he then spins around and hits my passenger door, ends up way over against the right guardrail facing the opposite direction.
My truck is totaled no injuries, what a pain in the neck.

Glad you are not hurt.
Did the knucklehead get a ticket? Follow up on this and go to his court date. Sorry about the truck. |

Make sure you share your story about his stupidity with the police and judge. Good day to be in the F350.

He will get a ticket, the CHP already determined he is at fault, and yes he has insurance

I felt no G's my rig is a rolling tank, I made the quick decision to brake easy and just go straight, if I had jerked the wheel probably would have jack-knifed it and made matters worse

If one's going to be hit by another vehicle, it sure is nice to be in the F-350. What a tank.
