Default 23 Years driving truck it has never happened...

Until this week. I was in Texas getting unloaded I then headed out onto the interstate at 1am to pick up another load. There was no traffic in either direction. Then I see some head lights ahead and it sure as hell looked like they were coming straight at me. I thought, "Just an optical illusion" they are on the south bound side of the interstate...the lights got closer and there was no separation and here is this pick up truck driving south on the north bound side of the interstate straight at me. I pulled over to the shoulder and stopped and he went about his merry way...hope he made it...

happened to me in my 2nd month of driving, some lady in a uhaul out in nebraska, I was blowin my horn and waving at her, she flipped me off, and i got on radio and two truckers behind me blocked the road. I see it happen all the time here in florida where I live on these side streets, old peeps get confused.
