That truck driver must have been asleep! Don't you think he'd notice, at least when the car got itself into that spot (noise, vibration, suddenly losing several mph...)  ?  ::)

Driving on the most truck infested road in Holland (A15 to Rotterdam Port) every day, I'm suprised I haven't seen this happen every now and then...

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

At least on your bike, you could have stood on the seat and tapped on the windscreen to get the drivers attention ;D
