Re: Cement Truck Squeezed the Life Out of Pedestrian.
Alec Guiness told James Dean if he didn't get rid of his new Porsche Spyder, he would be dead in 6 months. James Brown told Otis Redding if he kept flying in his Beechcraft aircraft, it would kill him. I don't ride, but if I did, it would be in the country, never around heavy traffic. Bikes don't have any protection from stupid drivers.l |

Re: Cement Truck Squeezed the Life Out of Pedestrian.
:) Admittedly the chances of being squashed by a cement truck in your house are low (but not zero!) - but houses are dangerous places! Have you noticed how many people die in their own houses?!?!? |

Re: Cement Truck Squeezed the Life Out of Pedestrian.
I drive a truck, you wouldn't believe how many stupid mofos are out there. I had a guy on a bicycle last week cut me off as I was coming to a stop light. If I was going any faster I would have killed him no question. Do these assholes understand basic physics or do they think they are indestructable?

Re: Cement Truck Squeezed the Life Out of Pedestrian.
No, many people do not understand physics (state certified hs physics teacher here) or have good traffic sense. Look at the people speeding 80 mph on the highway and changing lanes like cacaroaches in heavy rain, they have little understanding or concern about wet vs. dry roadway friction. I feel for you as a truck driver that cares. I would get traffic video cams for your truck if you don't have them.

Re: Cement Truck Squeezed the Life Out of Pedestrian.
Almost forgot, it's important to have those cameras on all sides of your truck and to upload any good footage (collisions with explosions and fires, airborne Porsches doing tricks, revolting cement mixer accidents) you get to DR!
