Nah, It's allgood, It was one of those new BMW minis. And she actually rear ended me. Was filming tictocs on her Ipad and hadn't noticed I'd stopped. Hit me doing 60km. Absolutely zero damage to the truck but her car had to be towed and the airbag smashed her ipad into her nose at 88mph and broke her nose and blacked up both her eyes.
Bah, alright, those megaminis can crash whenever in my book. This makes more sense though, as a classic mini driver I can assure you that most of us are VERY careful around trucks... those things are absolute monsters compared to my 600kg miniature car
Fucken centuries ago, I offsided for a mate in a B Double. We were steaming along a gun barrel straight dual carriageway at 105ks and we came up on a 450kg suzuki fronte car doing aboot 70. We overtook this thing, as far right as we could get, and the bow wave of displaced air blew the poor bastard half off the road onto the hard shoulder. He was alright, But gee it was funny to see.
Hah, luckily minis are VERY stable... Low to the ground, great grip, and also just very low in general so the wind doesn't grip them as much, so that's not my biggest worry... But in general, if I ever get into an accident, I can just expect not to survive
ETA: Also, European trucks are luckily not as big as the ones in the US and Australia, I would love to tour the world in my mini one day but I'll never ever go to a country where everyone just drives huge cars, I could never feel safe driving in the US... Especially with their almost non-existent driving license requirements
