I was about to agree but if you honestly couldn't see it coming....ok. one thing I can't stand is someone driving tired knowing they're that close.

I'd get checked out, if you really never saw it coming there could be more to it.

sorry for your truck and glad you're ok. but be careful man. my grandfather blacked out suddenly a while back and wrote off his car - I know stuff happens.

Three of my soldiers were killed 4 days after we came back from Iraq because the driver dozed off. The driver lived.

Make Good decisions people.

Thanks I appreciate it. And I am. I already planned on it because I'm only 16 and it's doing that. It scares me. I don't want to have another accident like that.

Yeah it sounds more like you blacked out man or something along those lines. Glad you're ok and nobody else got hurt. Sorry about your truck. But your truck can be replaced, you can't.

Here when you're 17 you have a full license. Doesn't mean you don't bend the rules at 16 lol

Same here, but the work has to be for agricultural reasons, so I couldn't get a job at the gas station that would have me driving between those hours.
