So i wanna take a stab at this.... What is a driver to do.. U have a mechanical failure in ur truck , need to take the runaway ramp for whatever reason.. There is people parked in front of it and sledding down the hill... what happens? U take the ramp and say u kill 5 or 6 children.... Who wins this lawsuit ? U know the parents of the kids will sue the driver and company to the moon and back... but they shouldnt of been there in the first place..... I hate to say but i think i know the outcome would not favor the trucker..

Well the world we live in makes law after law after law to reward the stupid and hamper anyone with a brain.
Same way it does with the useless end or lazy ones that it coddles and supports by taxing the productive.
The government found out that the easiest way to make everyone equal is not to lift the people on the bottom up, it's easier to push the middle class down.
Of course those in government, and the banksters, and the really large corporations don't get pushed down, they get to be the ruling eliteshooter19802003, RockinChair, God prefers Diesels and 4 others Thank this. -

My guess is that the lawyers will try to argue that the driver “should” have caught the mechanical failure on the pre-trip or roadside inspection.
From the drivers point of view, not taking the runaway could very possibly result in collision with innocents past the ramp.
Therefore one must weigh killing innocents further down the road versus potentially killing morons sledding on the ramp.D.Tibbitt, bzinger and Flat Earth Trucker Thank this. -
I'm a racist and a Nazi with a heart as black as coal.. Why do people talk like that's a bad thing?
#### I forgot, I'm sexist to. And I guess because I don't believe in little kids getting sex changes I'm probably a transphobe. And I probably shouldn't even tell you what I think of those screeching things with blue armpit hair.
By the way, I really don't like to use the term "Nazi" because it is an ethnic slur against rural barvarian men.
"Originally, the term was used in Germany before the rise of NSDAP as a colloquial and derogatory word referring to an awkward, backward, and clumsy peasant. It would go on to be used as a mockery of the name Ignatz—a German variation of Ignatius."8thnote, God prefers Diesels, Gearjammin' Penguin and 3 others Thank this. -
I saw someone doing this this very morning on Cabbage Hill (I-84 in Oregon). He parked across the full entrance to a runaway truck ramp.D.Tibbitt, bzinger and Flat Earth Trucker Thank this.

Once the tesla trucks take over they will not need the ramps anymore. They will turn them into nature parks for family picnics and close them off to truckers as usual.Lumper Humper, tscottme, D.Tibbitt and 2 others Thank this.
