i will never roll over a truck to save someone's life who was going too fast for road conditions that aint gonna happen you make your mistake and you pay for it point blank......... was wondering if the driver is still alive nd is that a schneider tanker?
-
Yes, that looks like one of Schneider's local drivers. Man that truck looks mangled. A 4-wheeler driving too fast for conditions??? No way!!!!! Glad the truck driver made it out alive.
-
well, story says that he was trying to avoid someone else who had spun out or whatever.......I've driven around those kinds of folks before and have lived to tell the story......will do it again......it's called 'defensive driving'.
second, if he was going so fast on a snow packed road that the flipped the tanker (rather than ran it into the wall), he was going plenty fast as well. Wasn't there, so I don't know, but it takes a fair amount of 'G's' to flip a truck.....those 'G's' are a function of speed and weight.
Jus' sayin'...... -
If a 4 wheeler cuts me off...I'm not swerving...this is where a good dash cam comes into play...never can be cautious to protect yourself.
-
The way idiots in Chicago seem to have a knack for cutting trucks off to get to an off ramp,,, had to happen sooner or later.
-
You've never pulled a tanker before have you?
-
He rolled it because of the surge of the liquid. The truck is a mangled mess.
-
Was probably the slosh that got him more then the surge did or could have been both.
-
Yeah, ok....and the toddlers in the back seat?biggare1980 and slim shady Thank this.
