    I see alot of drivers lay it down on the Highway ramps. An oval ramp with steep banks, you catch the dirt and there is no bringing it back. And all that for 10 miles over the recomended limit, what is that like 25 seconds extra........

    How in the hell they know he was 67 in 50?? If someone clocked him shouldnt he been pulled over? Its a felony to flip truck? Maybe I shoutl not even get into this business with all the scary stories on here.

    Well.. Since I just read on here that some of the companies are so wired up that they know exactly how fast the drivers are going, where, and when, then maybe all the records are someplace on a massive computer being kept for things such as this. Who knows? Or maybe there are cameras a long the highway and he was clocked awhile back but not pulled over yet. Any other ideas?

    I'm so grateful no one died.

    Reminds me of the old adage "You can take a curve too slow a million times , but you can only take it too fast once"... I saw someone's signature that reflects the same; There are no old, BOLD truckers. Accidents like this are the reason for that.
