    Can you blame him? He probably had to endure his early years riding in crappy cars. "Whitehead" years are your glory years. Live it up.

    I have an idea he’s sitting there thinking about how his mother told him he should always bring a pair of clean underwear along in case he ever needs one :biggrin_2559:

    We were in Tuscaloosa one Easter Sunday and there was a little car that had gone over the wire guard catcher in the median and hit a Ford Explorer headon killing the driver; heard the driver of the car died later on. There was a wide median between the east and west road too; don't know how far the car traveled or how fast it was going when it happened.

    Every wreck that you see makes you more appreciative of life and how 5min can change yours or someone elses life.

    really truckers do mistakes too and if you have good underride guards around truck and trailer, may be you would not be convicted for killing someone.

    I agree truck drivers make mistakes, but when a car runs into you that is not the fault of the truck driver or the trailer. Flippin' government thinks they can save every stupid person from themselves!! I can understand if the tail or brake lights were not working, the driver would be at fault, but other than that the idiot in the 4-wheeler was following way too close.

    End-dumps are not required and don't have the ICC bars, but a car could not really run under them. They would impact the rear axle.

    I can see somebody getting a ticket for their tail or brake lights not working but being liable if somebody rear-ends them even if they weren’t working. A driver is supposed to have their vehicle under control at all times and is the only one responsible if they crash into anything whether it has working lights or not.
