    Accidents happen. But I am totally and completely at a loss as to why more and more drivers just don't seem to pay attention to conditions these days. Have we gotten so focused on "saving every minute" because of (insert your favorite target here...customers...elogs...slower trucks) that safety has gone out the window? Courtesy has already left the building, after all....

    Simply amazing at how no one adapts to road conditions, it seems.

    It's not about "paying attention"... I think it's more so drivers just DON'T CARE!

    No excuse honestly. I've come to terms with people not caring, when the weather is dicey I'm ALWAYS expecting the WORST from other drivers.

    He was going slower plus probably was loaded @45k- the Estes driver absolutely unprofessional - going too fast - he did save his ### by not hitting the guy filming the event

    It looked like the Este truck was empty. Couldn't that have attributed to his lack of control?
