hey run it, as sympathetic as i am to your situation, there is a possibility that the trucker (who was already speeding, a violation) didn't notice you; or noticed you too late to do anything about it. He could have been talking on his cell phone or peeing in a bottle!

That's what is so scary about riding on the road (which I do) you can't always know that the driver is being attentive!!

I think you need more lights. your life is worth it!
