I wave at the car behind me while backing up. This driver sees whats happening and backs up not one split second too soon, I'm tellin ya this semi trailer was a good inch maybe 2 from taking out the top part of my car and god knows what else. It could have been REAL bad, like taking my head off.

I plan on leaving myself PLENTY of room from now on when I come to a stop behind a semi. Lesson learned. It shook me up for a good half hour.

thats really scary... sucks.... I'm glad you are okay!!
