Survived a car crash

The picture should tell enough about the level of luck in my life:

A tractor was heading in the opposite direction on a motorway. Some less-than-well-thought-of fellow decided to blindly overtake the tractor. He realized he didn't have enough time, tried to abort, hit the rear wheel of the tractor's wagon and the tractor tipped over on my car's hood.

At the time of happening my speed was 80km/h and the tractor's was 60km/h. They spent 20 minutes cutting me out of there.

The wonder of all this was that my most major injury is a sore shoulder.

Unfortunately the tractor driver was not so lucky.

My car is on the left in that picture, barely visible.

Just wanted to share this minor wonder with you. The surgeon was astonished that I was even alive, let alone mostly unharmed. Keep your safety belts on and don't always drive the maximum allowed (in this case it was 100km/h).

You should now bet some money, it looks like you are a lucky person.
Glad to see you among the living anyway.

Were you Drunk? Drunk people are usually more limp than other people.
