Drove 2 wks in car I80 and I84, saw zero truck accidents

My hats off to the majority of you drivers out there. We just drove round trip by car from Michigan to Oregon coast, mostly on I80 IL-UT, I84 UT-OR, a little I90 and I25 MT-WY, and US20 NE. Saw hundreds of semis but not even one accident, or even careless driving. Only one truck breakdown and 3 blown tires.
And 90% of trucks were going the speed limit.

We did see an RV tipped over on 84 in eastern Oregon but that was towed by a civilian in a pickup going too fast down a mountain stretch. And one car/pickup crash on US20. The most careless driving we saw was by cars zipping between vehicles, or tailgating semis as if they could push them out of the way.

 

Yes about winter - lots of signs that say highway is closed when lights are flashing - used mostly during snow season I presume.

 

Right, Patty - the big accidents get noticed and the day-to-day work gets ignored. Shoot, I bet there are tons of car drivers with sleep deprivation and sleep apnea on the road tonight, yet we don't have to have a physical to drive, we drive while tired, and sometimes with medical problems. And we cause accidents involving trucks.
