Very Close Call With 18 Wheeler

[AlabamaNomadRider]

I went for my usual afternoon ride today. I sometimes take a back way that takes me from Boaz, AL to Guntersville, AL. It is pretty much traffic free. Usually a very safe ride. The road I was was riding has the right of way at an intersection. The road that crosses has stop signs. I saw a truck coming from my right. I thought surely he will stop. Boy was I wrong. He didn't. I slid through the intersection and he never got stopped but got slowed enough to allow me to slide through just in front of him. He only missed me by an inch or so. I could have reached out and touched the front of his big blue truck. That is how close he was as I passed or slid through just ahead of him. You just never know. The only thing that could have saved me is Jesus. I kept waiting for the crash and me going over on my left side. Then I realized I had made it safely through.
