Well,maybe he wasn't watching where he was going,texting or drunk,in that case it wouldn't matter what you were driving,you said you cleared, them by inches,so if your car was bigger, then you would of got hit.so maybe the geo being small saved your life. Just glad you made the right move.

Wife and I had the same thing happen only it was spring, the dump truck moved to go around us on the right, lost control and slid on the snowy ditch into a telephone pole to avoid hitting us. I never found out if he got a ticket or not. I couldn't turn and was at a dead stop with signal on. Resolved next time to abandon the turn and get moving forward. |

I am glad to hear you are ok. And the guys above are right. His brakes are not working correctly. The truck should not be on the road. |

i ride mopeds and motorcycles too and yeah even in my car every time i go for a ride or drive i almost get hit actually i got rear ended the first day i drove my metro by a guy that was looking at his gps and didnt see that i was stopped at a red light i already been is a serious accident in 2009 when the dude fell asleep and ran me and my moped over and i dont see a metro being much safer at least you didnt get hit thats a good thing dont get rid of the metro because of that then what would you do for high mpgs get a stupid prius like everybody else also billhoo those accident statistics are wrong all reckless drivers drive either a mercedes or a cadillac escalade and for big rigs the wall mart trucks on I95 are the worst |

As i look back on it im glad i didnt get hit, but at the same time kind of dissapointed. Im sure that if he did clip my mumper i would have survived granted the geo wouldnt have, Yea id be burting pretty bad, but just imagine the settlement i could have gotten. for one, brakes on his truck failed on one side, he was speeding, wasnt paying attention. Im sure the truck has other issues with it aswell. I can just imagine how many geos i coulda bought after that :/ Lol maybe woulda walked away with a million? maybe. O well Im glad i still got my metro And besides, Me and my wife found out shes going to be having a baby in april or may so im a dad to be :p

do you realize how ling it takes to get a settlement from an accident its not worth it and if only the car gets wrecked you will only get book value for the car getting hurt is not worth the money even if i got millions from my accident its still not worth it id rather be broke and have the pain gone |

Fighting insurance companies for a settlement isn't too bad if you know what you're doing. I worked with filing claims with Mortgage insurance companies for a long time, so once I had my wreck (which police report clearly put the other driver at fault) it didn't take too long to get a settlement. They paid off my car, my medical bills, and still had a few G's in my pocket at the end of the day. |

I knew a girl whose mom got hit by an 18 wheeler. She was at fault, but the company still paid her a settlement. They are white trash to the max...living in a half million dollar house because of the wreck... America... |
