Everything after that is just gone. At the end I remembered holding my steering wheel and looked in my mirror and seeing my trailer at the wrong place. Couldnt open my door cos the cabin is wrecked. After the recovery truck towed my truck in the right way i had to drive to his company 15km further. But at every corner i just didnt want to press the brake or steer. Its fucking scary really. Don't want to do again thats for sure
i know it sounds stupid but i really thought i was going to die at that point
i understand what your saying,my biggest fear is killing someone,fuck all you can do when they start sliding,just try not go for the brakes like,and at least you'll remember bout the retarder next time,powerful things on them scanias,when i had one i always left it on the stick cos i locked a scania up in the wet with one once,shit mesen so never had it on auto again.
least ypur gaffer was sound,its just metal at the end of the day.
