When I went with my mom to get my brother (my other 2 brothers were with me) we got him and they got ready to go back home. My mom was driving and this truck was trying to get over in the lane we were in , it was really foggy and my mom was blasting her horn trying to get his attention before he made us go into the rails or the wall or grass.
I am sitting on the side of the truck that is coming right at me scared out of my skin about if it were to hit us and me and my brother (he is 8) are like 'Oh no, if this truck hit us we are going to die!" and so I am trying to hold to my baby brother while trying to look and see what was going on. My mom has to get off the road so he wouldnt hit us, and we see this white wall coming at us and we are even more scared. But we end up in the grass, when the lane is clear she pulls back into the lane and we go back home.
My mom calls the trucking company and tells them of what happened. But I am still scared. Is it okay to be scared?

Of course you're scared. I got scared just reading about it. Anybody would be, what a horrible thing to happen. and of course you will feel a bit scared to get back in the car because it will remind you of it. The only way to get over it is to keep getting back in the car. Every journey that goes by with nothing bad happening will make you feel less scared. Relax, take deep long breaths and try to think about other things. I know it will be difficult at first but it's best not to show you are scared because it might upset mom while she's driving and she won't be able to concentrate so well so act happy. You can tell her afterwards if you were worried and she will know how brave you've been.
Good luck honey.

its not wrong to be scared well a couple of years ago kinda the same thing happened. we where going down the highway and a semi-truck starts getting close to us but we where at the edge of the rode to my mom speed ed up and we made it. it was kinda scary but after it was OK although the trucker did give my brother the finger lol. but my friends dad is a trucker and he is one of the nicest guys so not all of them are bad.

There is nothing wrong with being scared. You just have to make sure that you can get over it so you are not scared everytime you go in a car.

It's ok to be scared. Just don't let it take over your life. This was a tramuatic experience for you. It may take a few days to get over it.
