Her behavior was finally rewarded when she nerfed the semi in front of her and removed a few extraneous pieces of trim from the front end. The blase semi driver didn't even bother to stop.
I have never driven this road without seeing a freshly-flattened Japanese compact being winched onto a flatbed.

It's quite likely that the semi driver never knew that he had been rear ended. A puny little car isn't going to transfer much energy to 40 tons of tractor trailer combination.
