[QUOTE="pickup, post: 2835558"] A little luck never hurts . I remember one time being on the cross Bronx expressway(I-95 in the Bronx) and a construction vehicle ahead of me and to the right of me parked on the shoulder to join the other parked construction vehicles , he was the last in line. Traffic was moving about 10 miles an hour and about 7 seconds after the guy got out of the construction truck, it became obvious that he forgot to engage his air brake. It started rolling backwards and it was going diagonally across traffic . I saw what was happening immediately and hit my brake but if you mentally continued that straight diagnol line the truck was traveling ,it would have hit me in the middle lane. But then as it continued to move , it started hitting bumps and each bump changed the trajectory a bit and it looked like it might just miss me and go into the third lane. And that's what happened and it totaled a Volkswagen Jetta. Now that was lucky but on the other hand I was paying attention and was able to brake immediately so I guess luck does favor the prepared mind. [/QUOTE]
