Okay got to tall this one. Going thru Tenn.with a load going fromCa. to Hunt Point Market, New York. ON I 40 there are always doing road construction. There the traffic suddenly came to a screeching halt! Some one wasn't paying attention way ahead of us an accident happened and immediatley everything shut down! We were all doing a steady 50 mph. till then The car ahead of us stopped, and we could see the guywatching us in the mirror. We were already slowing down cause we saw the suden reactions way ahead of him. A Semi seats you Higher of course then a car or pick=up! We were almost stopped when the car ahead hits the gas and slams into a car ahead!!When the police arrived and asked him why he did it, he said he thought we were going to hit him! Well we were like back of him 15 feet!! He was an off duty police officer and here he is telling them he doesn't deserve the ticket, he was trying to avoid an accident! Even the cops laughed!! And they gave him a sobriety test! He was just under the legal limit!!!! But even hadn't he not been drinking he would have still got the ticket!! He did get a butt chewing out from the Commander they called out to the scene and whatever came of any possible job reprimand I don't knowHowever he was told it was a poor excuse to try to blame us when it was his actions that caused the damage. The cops shook their head and smiled at us and wished us a safe trip and on our way we left! The woman he rearended fortunately was not hurt but she had major damage to the back end. She also smiled and waved as we drove away!!
