Supra vs 18 wheeler

[NCMIKE]

On I85 around Gastonia NC, an 18 wheeler pulled into me today and got me spinning across several lanes of traffic. It did scare the crap out of me. Tomorrow, I need to get started on the insurance company tango.

Damage is not so bad, you lucky the bastard didn’t completely annihilate you or the car. I absolutely hate truckers i always speed by anytime one is near me no matter what

Glad you're okay man! Bummer for sure, but looks to be mostly cosmetic so getting it back to normal should just be a matter of time. I agree with @Bigboss and I too speed by those swervey mofos no matter what car I am in.

I hope it is just cosmetic. The back drivers side wheel is really wonky looking. I think most of impact was taken at that point. We will see once they start dismantling the car.

Oof thank goodness it wasn't worse than that. Highways around Charlotte are not fun.

I am a trucker and we would rather you go by us than sit next to us.

Airbags didn't deploy?

Also a trucker, and second that. Don't stay next to us. Either pass or stay back.

Curious what happened. From the impact area you were on his right front, which is a blind spot. Were you passing him?

I have watched the trucking industry disintegrate over the last 50 years.
There was a time when they were professional, and were respected for their hard work.
Owned their own trucks .
Not that way today.
Today's trucking industry is run by a governmental over bloated berocrats that have ruined it.
The "E" book trucks have such limitations that no one makes any money.
No one hardly stays in the drivers seat even five years, it is that bad !
In the days of old it was a BIG huge deal to get in a wreck. !
Today?
It does not matter.
It is almost expected.
The complacency and watered-down atmosphere of NO professionalism is blatantly clear.
For sure, stay away from trks , their loads flying off, and ESP the right side of the trucks!
Sory about your car.

No deploy by any airbags

I was in the right lane. I was about to pass by him and he came into my lane. He clipped my back corner and spun me.

You were passing him on the right?

If you ever been there, it is the merger of 74 and I85. I was in my lane and I was going by truck, like I said in 13.
