I guess i'll add to your accident incidents. On Jan. 15th '96 i pulled into that little rest area on i-75 by mm-24 by Monroe Oh. just south of that truck stop. me and a o/o were traveling together and the only place to park was on the on ramp, we were legal but i was somewhat close to the traffic and felt uneasy but to tired to go any further.For the first time in my career, i slept in the drivers seat because the feeling i had, it was real creepy and never felt that before. About a hour later a slow moving truck was coming into the rest area and was hit in the rear by another truck,the crash woke me up, that truck had his cab torn off of the left side and exploded into flames and all the flaming diesel fuel and his burning cab came along side of my trl. just behind my tractor and set my trl. on fire. I wont go any farther into detail, but i heard that driver burn to death. I will go to my grave with the sound of his voice.So when i hear or see these newbreed out here acting with no respect and not realize on how fast a life can be taken', ya, i get really upset.

Oh man. I am sorry that happened to ya's. I have been in a few wipe-outs myself in 4 wheelers. (I was always the passenger) One was a guy that pulled in our lane and stopped at a greenlight. We were in a Ford box truck(6 wheeler) Knocked him 200ish feet thru the intersection. Put his bumper in the backseat. How he walked away was beyond me. When I ran up to his car he just stared at me...I'm like "Dude, what we you thinking!" I will never forget watching the back of his car disintegrate. His back glass ended being our new hood ornament. He was held liable in court and lost his case. But you are correct, folks have no respect for the road. None at all. It pi$$es me off

Again, sorry you had to go thru that.
