Another Preventable Move Over Accident

Florida will definitely let the idiot know..in a grand fashion way..

 

I’m sure his numbers were written on window with paint marker. True peices of ####

 

I put this on your other post, but I'll put here to:

Colorado recently changed their law to Move over or slow down by at least 20mph below posted speed limit for ANY stopped vehicle with flashing lights.

Because I want to help others behind me slow down for all stopped vehicles with flashing lights I usually stay in my lane and slow down gradually by 30mph (i.e. from 70mph to 40mph or even slower). I do this now in all states...not just Colorado.

 

I look to move over one time.If I can’t,then I put on my flashers and slow to the point to where I can stop if I need to.
I think people are to obsessed with needing to get over,that they drift while getting lost in their mirror.

 

Then the guy driving 80 in the white volvo pulling Amazon trailer may crash into you….

just sayin’

 

Right, which is also why I'll put my flashers on and gradually slow down.

 

Entirely possible, but if you get hit from behind in a situation like this, you are not at fault. Still would suck to be involved in an incident, but at least guilt lies somewhere else!

 

This was a police situation, but I am well familiar - as I drive a Freightliner 26,000 GVW
towtruck daily, and I never take my eyes off oncoming traffic. People drive like the devil
is chasing them, and catching up. I always put out a fluorescent green cone for safety.
I had a tanker run over it at about 80 mph. A blind man could see the light show I got.
It's not what YOU do, it's the other guy.
Be safe out there, it's become a zoo lately.
