I was coming home from a party in anaheim last night in my 5 week old 330i. 3 lane freeway, when I got on the 5 south, the middle lane was occupied by a f-150 that was hauling a trailer. I was in the right lane, near a shoulder (so much construction up there). Anyway I was following my friend and he passed the truck from the right also, and I tried to follow him, the truck driver appeared to be drunk or sleepy and I started to see him swirve as I was trying to pass him. I stepped on it and was about 1/4 passed the rear of his trailer when it seemed like me and everyone in my car were about to die. The trailer back swirved into the lane near mine, I had to move right and was about inches away from the shoulder, slammed on the brakes. I really thought I was dead. I then passed him from the left lane and honked like crazy at him, should have called the cops.
Just a reminder, while you guys are out driving your beautiful cars be careful! There are a lot of freaks and drunks out there, appreciate everything you got, because life is too short.
