    The semi driver was cited? Should have locked them up and thrown the key away. :biggrin_25513:

    I saw this video on national news last night. How does this happen? My first reaction was to ask what was happening in the left lane to cause this driver to side swipe the vehicles on the shoulder, but if the truck driver was cited apparently he was at fault. This could have been much worse.

    That might not have been accidental, given the hassle that Ohio gives to trucking companies...

    That doesn't give you the right to hit a patrol car.

    i guess whatever reason that cop pulled that person over was worth risking his life and hers? maybe a speeding ticket? a broken taillight?

    no, no ticket is worth risking your life over yet cops still pull people over on the shoulder, why? for their convenience

    so though the truck driver was at fault, the cop is the person who put himself and that 4wheeler in a precarious situation

    i fault the cop first, then the truck driver
     
    windsmith Thanks this.
