00:00Loaded Up With Goods To Sell
00:22I drove up the Pacific Highway
00:26Traveling sales and off to remote areas to sell
00:29my wares
00:31A station wagon full to the brim
00:35of things to sell
00:37No idea things would soon turn
00:41into a living hell
00:43I took the Pete's Ridge turn off
00:47and drove until I came
00:49Up behind a big
00:53semi-truck that slowed down my game
00:56I looked to overtake
00:59not seeing a T-Bar road sign
01:02The truck's right blinker
01:06was not working
01:06I thought things were fine
01:08The truck turned right
01:12as I drew level with his cab
01:14The driver had not seen me
01:19and hit my car in the side
01:21At the 20 to 20 kilometers
01:25an hour my station wagon
01:26started to slide
01:28I tried to regain control
01:31but bounced off wooden road post
01:34The car slid back across the road
01:38and jumped a big embankment
01:40Before hitting the tree head on
01:44Before hitting the tree head on
01:44and coming to a stop
01:46Every single panel on the car was bent
01:54The front wheels were at angles
01:57And one wobbled as it went
02:00I drove at eight kilometers per hour
02:15That was as fast as it would pace
02:17A hundred K's back to Sydney
02:21A hundred K's back to Sydney
02:21to get back to my boss's place
02:24He was not happy as his car was a wreck
02:30But thankful I was not killed
02:34and didn't break my neck
02:36The car slid back across the road
02:39The car slid back across the road
02:41And jumped a big embankment
02:43Before hitting the tree head on
02:47And coming to a stop
02:48Every single panel on the car was bent
02:56The front wheels were at angles
02:59And one wobbled as it went
03:02Another brush with death
03:05That I survived
03:07I was glad that I got the wind
03:11And was still alive
03:13I learned the hard way
03:16To give big trucks more respect
03:19And not take risks waiting for them
03:23To let you pass like you might expect
03:25And not take risks waiting for them
03:29To let you pass like you might expect
