    Truckers should be ticketed with a huge fine, plus can't drive until the fine is paid. Shut them down right there and call a tow truck.

    Should they do the same to 4-wheelers? Call a rollback and have ‘em towed?

    A Honda Odyssey passed me at 103mph, by my collision mitigation readout, in the construction east of Indy, yesterday. What about them? Jail?

    Horrible accident. The truck failed to slow down in the construction zone. Let's hope he was not watching YouTube while driving, otherwise long prison years should be served.

    103 would likely qualify as reckless endangerment so yea likely time for jail

    I certainly hate PACCAR for a lot of reasons, but, that readout does provide entertainment.

    Anytime there's a bad wreck, questions on here are asked about the driver. I answered that one before it was asked and it would have been asked.
    Such as, "Was it a White Volvo out of Chicago?"
    Post #18....lol
     
    Oxbow and smokey12 Thank this.
