The space in front of a semi was put there by the driver to have a safety cushion, not for your convenience to slide on in there. I hope all my friends see/read this, and think twice next time before you want to cut off a big truck. Your funeral could be next.
Edit: never did I once post in the original that the pickup was at fault, simply sharing an image to open some eyes as to what could happen as a result of cutting off a big truck.
