I've long wondered why careless driving rules for ordinary vehicles AND careless truck drivers don't result in investigations and perhaps charges for excessive speed, endangerment, even manslaughter for failing to heed warning lights, weather reports and obvious hazard areas.
I remember as a kid that the truckers were always the safest guys on the road.
Now they are often the worst. I live in a cold, windy, mountainous area and we see EMPTY semi-trailer trucks roaring into 80, 90, 100 mile winds, skidding sideways down the asphalt, f'ing themselve up and anyone one nearby as well.
I know truckers have to bust their butts out there too, but if my company puts me and others in danger...fuggedaboutdit!!
TWO of the 18 wheelers landed on top of multiple cars likely causing life impacting injuries if not death.
Those accidents are caught on video.
There is an 18 wheeler that was able to slow but still impacted but nowhere near at the same rate of speed.
But WTH, it’s the express lane so open throttle even in bad weather as the lanes parallel to the expressway are slowing down because of bad conditions...
