I can almost relate to how the driver must've felt. I'd have been on my knees begging forgiveness of the guy. Fortunantely with buses, we have cross view mirrors and can see what's directly in front of my bus. Kinda interesting...they're required on schoolbuses to prevent any kids being hurt or killed, why aren't they required on rigs? Look how high a cabover driver sits, he can't see directly in front of his truck, and a conventional truck with it's long hood, certainly can't see in front of his truck...so why aren't these x-views required?!?!?!?!? OY!
I'm surprised the guy's truck didn't have cross view mirrors, alot of rigs here in CA have them. It's a safety issue I hope the company looks into. It could save a life.
