Truck Drivers!!
Okay, I don't really have anything against them in general but when I was picking up my kids from preschool today I saw a truck coming down the road towards me. It's a very narrow road so I moved to the side behind some parked cars and waited for him to pass.
As he was passing I realized there wasn't enough room and thought OMG, he's going to hit me.... so I started beeping the horn like a mad woman and this guy just kept going. At that point I drove the car up on the sidewalk as far as I could and he still kept going and by now I've honked the horn like 10 times. He ended up hitting the back end of the car.
To make things worst he didn't stop right away but actually came back 5 minutes later. I was so upset and so were my kids. So I said to him (or shouted) "Did you know you hit me?" He said, "No I didn't" and then went on to say "OH, well you should have moved out of the way!"
Hello?? I was on the sidewalk, if I went any further I would have ended up in someone's living room!
Anyways, I went to the police station and reported it since he wasn't willing to stick around. I also have a witness so we'll see what happens. It's only 3 p.m. and I'm emotionally exhausted and my poor kids don't like trucks anymore!

I'm glad you guys are okay. It's amazing how people with big cars and trucks think they are invincible and don't care about others around them.
Oh my! I'm so glad you are all ok.
The road that goes to my son's school is also a road that leads to a landfill and the "trash trucks" as we call them here are always causing accidents on that road. There have been many deaths because of them and we are constantly fighting the county to do something about it. It's a narrow road and I couldn't tell you the number of times I freak out when taking him to school or picking him up because I get scared they are going to veer into our lane and hit us!!
I'm glad you are ok and I hope that the police can find him and doing something about his reckless driving and his attitude problem!
I'm so glad that you guys are ok! I'm not fond of 'big' trucks, busses, etc!
