Ouch! Seeings how it is slow tubing, that brought up an accident I had a few years ago. I was on the freeway in a ROCKY (small SUV with about a 4' wheel base). I was in the far right lane, and there was an Explorer in the middle. The freeway curved, but he was on the phone and didn't. The truck behind me saw the whole thing. He crossed into my lane and I bounced off of him. Tried to stay in my lane and bounced off again. This point, I am heading for the bridge and a pretty devastating drop off.
Slammed on the brakes with both feet and spun in circles all the way across the freeway, missing everyone (this was at noon).
Long story short, the policeman said he could site us both?! WHAT?! The Explorer for not staying in his lane and me for loosing control of mine!
Ended up we each had to fix our own vehicle, even though the truck behind me told the cop, the Explorer crossed over and hit me.
