Trucker's first crash was the worst kind

Sad his first accident was his last. I've had a number of older driver friends retire. Then they would get the urge to drive again. A few of them got in accidents and were killed.

 

That is my worst fear. I am super worried every time my husband leaves. Even when we have our typical married cant stand ya fights LOL
You just never know when something bad will occur. Some people don't understand that trucks don't stop like cars and therefore you should not jump out in front of them or dart across lanes like in chicago.

 

that kind of puts a knot in my throat reading that, i never really thought about how dangerous of a job a trucker had until I started dating one. it's hard not to worry about something happening

 

Very sad and unfortunate to hear this.

 

Elderly drivers need very close supervision IMO
Many struggle with navigating a shopping cart around Walmart and yet are allowed to be a hazard to the motoring public.

There is no such thing as "Saving Lives"
When its your turn to go,you go.

 

Very sad. This was the family of one of our forum members.
