Default Abit Thirsty?

Heading up to the local shopping centre, went to turn into the slip lane but theres some big orange cones and a fire truck parked in the way, looked past that and saw this in the back of the BWS storage building.

Not totally sure what happened, but to me it looked like he was going too fast, the speed limit heading into the slip lane is 70 and downhill but it looked like hes made the slight turn left to go into the slip lane but pretty much gone straight ahead from that.

Considering there are a lot more cars than trucks on the road (except in the morning when you're trying to get to work and ther's a truck in every lane) I would reckon trucks would would come close on a ratio basis.

But there aren't many truck drivers of that race and sex we can't mention driving to boost up the average.
