Well hell that doesn't make any sense. It sure is better than blocking the fuel island and preventing other drivers from fueling at that pump! That is one of my biggest pet peeves is when people block the fuel island and they take hours. Now if it's to pay for fuel, get something to eat or drink and then head back out on the road then that is acceptable to me! But if your gonna sit down and eat then park your truck in a parking space. You shouldn't have parked in a parking space, now thats funny! :roll:

Anyway No more than 500 dollars damage on both. I didn't tell him about the second one till I got back. I wanted him to tell me to my face it was my fault. Needless to say his tone was way different when I wasn't 2000 miles away.
should have told him if he didn't send you that way you wouldn't have had to park in that spot. looks to me like its his fault!

1. Another driver backing into your truck at a truckstop and/or shipper/receiver

2. Your sitting at a stop light and another vehicle hits your truck (could be from behind or someone coming from the other way and they careen into your truck)

Good examples. They are still preventable. In all accidents, one individual is given the opportunity for correction. This applies to any kind of accident, highway, workplace, anywhere, anytime.

This is why they are called "accidents" and not just "events" or something similar.

Thanks for letting me clarify this.

But it wouldn't be your fault though! It would be the other driver's fault.

Quit trying to separate the fly s#it from the pepper.

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." You plagiarize this from Einstein and attribute it to yourself as an original thought.

Any accident where the driver acted in a reasonably expected manner to prevent it.

Your t-shirt with this on the front and back is already on its way: :withstupid:

Here's another one: Driver is going north on I-55 in IL, a thunder storm comes up fast and violently. Truck is blown off the road and knocked over.

Was the driver at fault? No. Was it preventable? No. How was that determination made? By the Safety Department at CFI. Why was it made that way? Because there was an IL State Trooper not more than 200 feet behind the CFI truck....who filled out the report and stated that the driver did everything in his power to stay on the road in the sudden bad weather, and the truck was blown over by a tornado.

My friend.....there are ZERO absolutes in this world... at least where people who have a grip on reality are concerned. Absolutes exist only in the minds of "know it alls"....or "wannabee" know it alls.

No, actually...there are 3 potential "absolutes"..... Birth, Taxes, and Death. 8)
