[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 72745, member: 484"] I could see how a car would hit the third or even second trailer and the driver not feel anything. But I would have a hard time understanding how you would not feel this accident. While my feeder time is very limited, I know when I hit a squirrel with my p1000, how could you not know you just hit a car? As for the driver, for breaking the law there is no excuse. And if UPS comes down on him hard, IMHO he did wrong and he now needs to stand up to that. By the same token, we had a feeder driver get charged with leaving the scene of a hit and run. Seems like, according to the older woman, the feeder driver was driving by on the interstate and the second trailer hit the woman knocking her down and breaking her hip. While there were no eye witnesses, there was a state trooper there that did not hear an impact. To make a long story short, they now think that the wind from the passing trailers caused the woman to lose her ballance and fall, causing the broken hip. As most of you can imagine, getting hit by a feeder enough to knock you down would leave something else beside a broken hip. After a year off road suspension, he is back in feeders. But we are still trying to get the 31 year safe driving restored. d [/QUOTE]
