And there's the rub. Let's hope they don't get smarter and start saying there's something wrong with the trailer rather than accusing the driver of hitting them. People are less suspicious of someone trying to help them than being accusatory.cb1000rider wrote:I dunno how many times a passer-by has saved me when something was wrong with the trailer or it's associated load... I would have been a definite victim to that, had they just said that I had a flat or something a little less severe than actually striking them...
Good for you for staying well covered.. Glad it worked out.

Re: preston road incident... new crime game?
I didn't mean to imply that it happened in your case and was only relating that it can happen without the drivers' knowledge. The only damage to the trailer in my case was a few small scratches and some of my paint at the corresponding height on the trailer. The driver was believably shocked and apologetic.glock27 wrote:Im sure its possible. However it wasnt the case here. There was no damage on my trailer amd aparently none to their car as im sure i would have had a phone call or a visit from an officer. In this case id much rather deal with the police the next day and avoid a conflict that clwas already putting me in orange condition than to chance the intentions of these "suspicious" individuals with myself outnumbered and precious cargo onboard.C-dub wrote:FYI, I have been hit by a truck's trailer without the driver's knowledge. The trailer hit the mirror on my truck and almost tore it off. I had to go after the driver to get them to pull over and show them the damage, which matched damage on the trailer.

FYI, I have been hit by a truck's trailer without the driver's knowledge. The trailer hit the mirror on my truck and almost tore it off. I had to go after the driver to get them to pull over and show them the damage, which matched damage on the trailer.
