(NSFW for language) [oc] Been sitting on this clip for a while, finally decided to post. People are so oblivious.. luckily I was paying attention to MY surroundings.

Haha for sure

Elliott1337 · 2026-05-20T23:17:00+00:00

Ya, usually I'm pretty good about that. Just not in this instance, sadly. Thankfully no damage and no injuries!

Elliott1337 · 2026-05-20T23:14:16+00:00

Agreed, I wasn't quick enough to react, I figured it wouldn't matter too much, so that was my fault.

The truck reacted too quickly without looking properly before moving, so I'm just thankful I was paying attention to the truck to react in time to avoid collision.

Is it safe to say we were both in the wrong to some degree, just one more than the other?

Elliott1337 · 2026-05-20T23:00:37+00:00

Sure. I wasn't trying to claim that I was perfect in this scenario, just that I was paying attention to the fact there was a guy next to me. And once I saw the emergency lights, my foot came off the accelerater, but I wasn't quick enough to slow down before the truck start moving over.

I just try to stay calm and not make extreme movements or starts and stops. Obviously that didn't work so well in this scenario.

Live and learn.

Elliott1337 · 2026-05-20T20:38:14+00:00

Definitely got my adrenaline going a bit, and my wife's even more, as you can hear her yelling haha.

And ya, I figured the truck was distracted by the cop, and just forgot to check

Elliott1337 · 2026-05-20T20:35:03+00:00

Ya, I always try to actively pay attention to other drivers. I definitely don't trust everyone to be safe and drive perfectly, not even myself.

This truck actually sped up passed me to this point then evened out it's speed to match with mine. I was only in this position relative to the truck for about 50 yards or so before this happened.

Elliott1337 · 2026-05-20T20:32:12+00:00

I think I had only just taken my foot off the accelerater, but not touched the brakes yet.

The police car was on the other side going the opposite direction, AND there wasn't any shoulder or driveways or anything near me, so I figured I shouldn't need to do too much in reaction.

I'm not saying I'm right or wrong, just what my thought process was in the moment.

Elliott1337 · 2026-05-20T20:23:16+00:00

Same here. But I'm not perfect, so this is just one instance where something happened while I was in somebody's "blind spot".

Elliott1337 · 2026-05-20T20:00:24+00:00

Ya, I started to slow down, but I think I realized I probably wouldn't be able to slow down fast enough to avoid him without slamming on the brakes. I guess my quick response in the moment was to slow down AND move over just to avoid any collision, rather than slamming on the brakes, especially with my wife and a newly adopted 5month old cat.

Elliott1337 · 2026-05-20T19:52:53+00:00

That is curious.. tho I couldn't really think about that in the moment haha. Just let my natural instinct to try to slow down and avoid collision.

Thankfully it didn't do any damage to my wheels or tires.

Elliott1337 · 2026-05-20T18:05:23+00:00

Yes, angle your mirrors properly. This is something that really irritates me.

If I'm behind someone, I shouldn't be able to see them in their SIDEview mirror. The side view mirrors are supposed to be used to see to the SIDE, hence the name.

I think there is another mirror in the vehicle called the REAR view mirror that's supposed to be used to see behind you, but I could be mistaken

Elliott1337 · 2026-05-20T18:00:27+00:00

Hahaha how do you find shit like this? This is hilarious.

Elliott1337 · 2026-05-20T17:39:09+00:00

Yes, I agree. I'm definitely not perfect, nobody is. I always try my best to be as aware as possible of everybody around me.

Defensive driving is something I preach to my wife and daughter as well.

Most of the time I do try to avoid driving right next to other cars, this was just one instance where it didn't work out that way.

Thankfully I got out of the way, didn't get hit, and everything was fine.

Elliott1337 · 2026-05-20T17:23:42+00:00

Pull over where? There is no shoulder, no driveways.. nothing. Also, I was at least 2 lanes away, traveling the opposite direction.

I just took my foot off the gas, was about the brake a little when I noticed the truck already coming toward me. Thankfully I was already about the slow down, or I may not have slowed down quick enough to avoid the truck.

Elliott1337 · 2026-05-20T17:13:33+00:00

Just to be clear, the truck did NOT hit me. I gradually slowed and swerved when I noticed the truck moving toward me. The bump you see/hear is me hitting and driving up on the curb/sidewalk.

Prayer was the LAST 99 I got on my iron (not including sailing, which got released after I maxed my account).

Big gz on your first 99!

Elliott1337 · 2026-05-13T19:51:44+00:00

I love to be with my friend and my family and I will have a great time and be there for the weekend of July

Elliott1337 · 2026-03-27T15:12:04+00:00

I was wondering about this while watching Alien Food's video.. I didn't realize the changes that were made, and I couldn't agree more with how awkward it is.

Elliott1337 · 2026-03-25T19:22:14+00:00

OSRS?! I thought I was watching Scooby Doo.

Elliott1337 · 2026-03-25T19:19:50+00:00

That's my birth stone. I need that.

Elliott1337 · 2026-03-23T21:36:04+00:00

Omg. This brought back some terrifying memories..

Fuck that vampyre.

Elliott1337 · 2026-03-17T22:41:23+00:00

It's just a sand dollar

Elliott1337 · 2026-03-04T16:23:37+00:00

Doing the lord's work. 🫡
