brianthainess Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 How on earth do you not see a big truck up ahead known to travel quite slow, you see that at least 50 meters away, what a shame the 26yr old wasn't badly injured to at least keep him of the road for a while, if not permently.

" I hope the students enjoyed the free, unplanned thrill ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
