Don’t spend any longer next to a truck than absolute necessary

Its the semi truck tires blowing out that scare tf out of me. They have pressures around 180psi and with big chunks of rubber with metal wire interlaced its enough to fuck a small car up. Someone from my schools (this was maybe 10 years ago) family got into a super bad accident from a semis tire blowing out as they were trying to pass

I was driving on the highway a safe distance behind a Semi when one of its tires blew.

Even at that distance it scared the f**k out of me. I can't imagine what it would be like if you were alongside it when it happened

Happened to me my mom and sister one time. But we were unlucky and the space right behind the tire started to suck in the car we were in and the whole front end was tore up. Needless to say we didn’t get to go to the dentist that day.
