What part of light, high profile vehicles don't you understand?

"But my elogs said I could drive!"

 

And my GPS told me to go this way!

 

No speak no enlash.

 

i wonder if anybody has been able or tried to compile data that queried for approximate gross weight, trailer tail, trailer skirts, air ride, etc. I imagine it's safe to assume they're always 53/102s

Somewhere, there is a gross weight number and a wind gusts number where the odds of blow over increase dramatically. Somebody needs to do the analysis and publish the findings.

Trailers get a bit lighter every few years. And we've all driven in high winds. Every truck, even heavy [except for perhaps flatbeds] has a wind gust velocity and relative angle that will lay it over. Add in an over-reaction and this number is lessened.

 

I saw 2 on I70 last night. I'd shut down for the day because of it earlier. High wind warning signs aplenty.

 

a driver must have common sense? i left ogden ut this am, stopped in rawlings wy due to rollover risks. 60+mph gust blowing snow. bad combo. still see drivers heading east. i dont need money that bad.

 

I just got done coming from SLC to Denver, and I agree. However, I do wish they would give a specific weight rather than being ambiguous. Light is subjective to the driver, the state needs to quantify what they mean.

 

I really don't know what the big deal is. The tow truck operators benefit. And when enough blow over, they'll decide to close the road to all "light, high profile vehicles". Somebody needs to be "the canary in the coal mine"

 

It is already closed to "light, high profile vehicles". It just isn't enforced until you wreck.
