I don't think they have it in mind to report it. But it sounded like a boys' club blame game. I think you can see from where he hit me that my car was in front of his rig going for the same space ahead. I was forced to stop. There were no exact lanes as it was where the crash took place. There is no way I would try to crowd him out if he was ahead of me. Maybe he just didn't see me.

I have insurance through Mercury. No traffic tickets in the 25 years we've been here.
