Tip of the day

[zoom45]

Tip of the day... Stay away from big trucks. I was on the way home today and was just starting to merge on to the interstate. I saw a big FEDEX truck with the double trailers coming so instead of speeding up I slowed a little to let him go by before I pulled out on the interstate. Good choice because soon as he came by it sounded like a bomb went off. One of the tires on the first trailer exploded and chunks of rubber were flying everywhere. I had stayed in the merge lane and wound up riding on the shoulder to stay away from it. I got hit by a small piece but if I had stayed my course I would have been right beside the tire that exploded. I try to never ride beside or behind a big truck because you can't see around them, they can't see you and things can fall off them. Alway keep your distance from the trucks.
