If you can’t see ahead on a curve, slow down.

If you’re unable to stop in time, and hit a stopped car, the accident is your fault. Same is true if you hit a pedestrian or bicyclist on the shoulder of the road.

When you “used to drive trucks and when they’re fully loaded it takes a while to make a panic stop under the best conditions”, then you slow down so you can stop in time. If you don’t, you and kill someone, its murder.

"...the accident is your fault..."


Absolutely correct. Drivers have a responsibility to be sober and maintain control of their vehicles.
This collision happened in daylight conditions, on a straight desert road, with clear sightlines.
