how does one get a 20 foot ladder into the cab of a 18 wheeler to be able to climb up and clean the snow off the top of the trailer? How about not following so close to the person in front of you.
How do the majority of them manage?
I forgot...
Here's a little quiz. How far behind a vehicle must one travel by law? Now tack some onto that for safe measure.
Okay, now how far do you think an ice sheet from an 18-wheeler would travel through the air? Also, did you know that the vehicle to the rear is traveling a certain distance in one direction while the ice/snow is traveling at a similar velocity in the other direction?
Do you now realize that the issue of safety lies more with the person that should be clearing their vehicle than with the person that is struck by the ice and snow?
