CR England accident, driver just goes right off the road

WoW, sad part about it accidents like this will still not prevent drivers from fooling around with their phones saw a dump truck driver the other day up in Vermont hauling asphalt go through the light texting on his phone it's just getting worse everyday

 

Note in video -

Driver stated “I’m tired and I just want to go to sleep”

Possibly a result of concussion, but perhaps the root cause.

 

They need to issue a correction tomorrow. He didn’t say he was tired. No one on Elogs is ever tired.

 

LOVE it, 9 trillion reasons guys have left the road, thousands of times before the word cell phone was invented, but that is it, yup it's got to be. LMAO

 

I think he was busy trying to change to a different 8 track tape.

 

What are the odds of distracted driving by a rookie compared to a veteran?

When I started driving. My A was glued to the seat and both hands glued to the steering wheel and both eyes glued to the windshield. Learning how to drive an 80,000 lb. missile.

 

Was not calling you out, just find it funny that everybody starts guessing, then typically a few more post later it starts turning into sounding like it is somehow a fact. lol
I know of times it was not distracted driving either, having a sneezing fit has got more than one driver.lol
Where I drive, when you meet a truck, you have to know where the road is and stay there, because the snow dust in the winter and the dust in the summer will not be visable for a little while, if you happen to meet 3 or 4 trucks in a row, this can be a challenge and gets some every year. lol
If I were a betting man, I wold say playing with the stereo used to get as many as anything, looking for the tape they dropped in the floor or what ever. I know for a fact it caused several, with all the electronic gadgets we have now days, there is probably more distractions that ever.
