Voytech Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 hmmmm i might entertain the offer! and yes, it was scary as hell. In my mind i was picturing me getting squashed between the trailer and the dumpster truck behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voytech Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 This is why we leave a car length of space in front of us so that when something like this happens, there is space to move forward or backward. I did. He took that space by backing up lol. By the time I realized this was a serious problem, it was too late to do anything. I've already come to a conclusion that I should have jumped out of the car and ran up to the cab while waving and screaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voytech Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 Oh well she was dumb i have to say. When I saw the truck backing up I looked into the rear view mirror while i put my car into reverse to make sure she understood what was happening... She was searching for something in the passenger foot well. I was like OH F***. At that moment I knew it was game over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devobuzz Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Lucky you put the car in reverse. I would have been worried about your drivetrain if you were still in drive while you car was getting pushed BACKWARDS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spec B Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 2 days ago I saw a semi pull out of a warehouse dragging a VERY BIG watermelon sized boulder that was caught in front of the 2 back wheels. These big rocks are there as a barrier to separate the warehouse driveway from the road. The dude just kept driving while his trailer bounced up and down trying to get over the big rock...Half a block of scarred pavement later the rock slid out from under the trailer and into oncoming traffic as the truck driver just casually drove off. I was 40 feet back in complete disbelief..i ended up getting out of the car and pushing the heavy ass rock to the curb before someone's car gets ruined.

I would have been worried about your drivetrain if you were still in drive while you car was getting pushed BACKWARDS. It's a manual. I was in reverse but with the clutch disengaged.
