[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 649067, member: 484"] Guys, this is a nightmare that I would not wish on anyone. To be working at or after dark, and have a pedestrian that I didn't see get hit. It could happen to anyone. A few weeks ago I was in GA on a road that I was not familiar with. 3:30 AM in my spray truck, dark as heck, with a drizzle. All of a sudden, within 5 feet of the front of the truck, I noticed a bicycle with a small rider just about to be hit by my truck. I was only going 30-35, and he appeared out of nowhere. Lucky for me he turned onto a driveway, because I had no chance to react. By the time I got stopped, he was long gone. What the heck was a kid out on a bike at AM Sunday morning? But by the grace of God, I would have killed him. So as its getting dark, and after dark, make sure they see you, and try to see them. Look as many times as you have to to make sure. d [/QUOTE]
