How? I'll never know. The only witness was the trucker - who claimed I did everything wrong while breaking every known law. So, the cops of Utah and Nevada wanted my hide nailed to the wall. However, people who know me also know I was a good rider who followed the rules of the road. It just did not make sense - but what could I do when I had no memories of the accident. It took me about a year to clear up the license mess. It all resolved in the end in my favor - but it was a heck of a fight.

Knowing truckers, since i drove OTR for a few years 30 years ago, my bet is he got bored on the desolate, crappy highway, and fell asleep. I have no appreciation for people like that who make roads more dangerous.

If you think the United States is bad, think of another country that wants to put troops on the border to keep illegal aliens out, instead of walling in their citizenry
