late last year i went to vic to pick up 2 half-cuts for myself and another dude... we embarked on our journey with a full car trailer, with 4 wheels. we arrived safe about 12 hours later.

anyway we picked up the two cuts and headed for sydney then it started raining hard for a bit so we stopped until it did and got some food. about exactly half way back i was gettin tired so we stopped- i`d been driving for ages and one of my mates was asleep in the back so we woke him up got him some food and a bit of time to become alert - i got in the back and was asleep in 30 seconds...

the next thing i remember was the car swaying and the trailer fishtailing - i got up looked in front and said !slow down! just as i said that some f@#khead in a semi pulled from a truck stop on the left and got in to the far right lane!!! for about 5 seconds or so the whole road was blocked and my mate mashed the brakes, the trailer braked locked, the trailer went sideways, pulled the car sideways and then jacknifed - we slid about 80-100 metres, (down a mild hill) and did a full 180, luckly we stayed on the road, but the trailer popped a tyre and ripped a whole wheel off, and damged the commo a fair bit... we managed to limp home with 3 wheels but i will never tow on the hume highway again!!! Mad

Did the guy in the semi at least stop to see if you guys were alright?
