Motorcylist killed by truck in Sydney

[Louwai]

Bullshit. You know if you've hit a bird, in a car, you can't tell me you don't know if you've hit a motorcycle in a truck. You'd hear the noise or feel the impact. He ran because he was scared.

Understand how you feel Heidi, & I'm certainly not sticking up for the truckie, but you really can't compare driving a car & driving a truck.
If the wheels at the back end of the semi-trailer were to go over a 12" high bump, (busa laying on it's side) the driver would not even know it, unless he actually saw it in his mirrors.
Long distance drivers have to stop every 400 or 500 klm to check & make sure they have no flat tyres. Otherwise they would have no way of knowing.
