Q: A semi hit me in a periodic passing lane because he failed to finish the pass before the lane ended
I was going 69 in a 70. His vehicle is governed to 70 and he waited until the last seconds to try and pass. He could clearly see the lane was about to end and forced me onto the shoulder and then struck the rear of my vehicle.
A: Very frustrating. The truck is in the wrong. You don't indicate if this is an accident or if a traffic citation, what you were cited for.
