miller Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 i had one spinout infront of me on the QEW last week it sure left me with chills and i was able to safely brake from a distance back, the thing that made me a little more nervous was the semi coming behind me that didn't look like he was going to be able to slow down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 That's brutal Shelley. I saw on the news he had a dash cam. Had it installed after a previous accident that had no witnesses or something like that and wanted it to be there just in case!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinnimon Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Unbeleivably lucky for the truck/trailer and the camera man. Not for the other. I remind our drivers on a daily basis, be careful out there. And I ask them about their kids after. 2 thank yous already Dont ask, it works!

Jewelbee Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I used to make the drive to Sutton every 2nd weekend. I guess I was lucky never to have a close call like that, Those people had horseshoes up thier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnF Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Don't think I'd need to go to the bathroom for a month if I say that coming at me. Geeeez. Doesn't work that way. You're too busy reacting to be scared. I witnessed exactly the same thing not far from there on the 401 17 years ago. That truck crushed my van. Mine was the first of 11 vehicles to be hit. I was so high on adenalin I felt nothing. I had 4 18 year kids with me. JF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjcanoe Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I'm really glad I was running a bit early (15 mins ) on friday! I was pulling into the Guelph service center when it happened, fueled up and hit the hwy again, all I heard on the CB as I was pulling back onto the hwy was Holy Crap!, can't believe that!, did you see that!, etc.....What happened I asked? Big truck just came through the wall past the 312 exit! took me 15 mins to pull off, fuel both sides and pull back on, so if I was 15 mins slower I hope I would have still missed it! but not by much.... That stretch down the hill was super icy that morning. I came out of Mississauga with an empty trailer and was breaking traction all the way up the escarpment, Started at 101 kmph(what my truck is limited at, at hit the top of the hill at around 65kmph. Every time I put power to the pedal the wheels would start to break free.... not a salt truck in sight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
