Yet another idiot runs into stopped traffic

Easy there Tiger......
Im not talking about playing on a phone.....Or doing anything illegal.
You cant sit there and "Guarantee" You'll Never run into anyone,Or have an accident, It can happen to anyone- Including you.

With the volumes of traffic- The majority of unsafe drivers- Anyones a candidate-

 

I second that.

One old rule in school back in the day:

"You will miss them by this much."

And how. Probably scared them really bad enough to stop their hearts and freeze their souls. But you will miss them by this much if you are any good.

Its not fun at all. I once missed a 10 speed bike rider by about a foot roughly. Its a wonder the aerodynamic pressure of me at 50 plus did not throw his body under my trailer tandems...

 

looks like he USED to drive for Prime..

i fixed it for you!

 

Sorry, but if you care that little about your appearance, your level of professionalism, you aren't going to care about the life of someone you don't even know you are putting in danger with your reckless habits either. You can't judge a book by it's cover, but the cover gives a pretty #### good indication of the content of the pages.

 

he's one of 'em drivers that are afraid to take showers.

 

Never say never. @stayinback reflects my views too.

None of us will be watching videos, but you see those ‘big rig’ lawyers?

Accident not your fault, in comes lawyer, finds the smallest thing -

Trucks, trailers, house - gone.

Risk increases, Reward decreases. Every, single, day.

 

If his truck has the Driver Assistance the truck could have stopped it's self. I thought all Prime trucks had that or he had older system of any. My 2020 Freightliner with Driver Assistance 4.0 can stop the truck if it see slow or stopped traffic. The Adaptive Cruse control will also see stopped or slow traffic and slow the truck down. If driver doesn't to anything you get a Collision Warning. Then the computers will apply the brakes and stop the truck.

 

I get where ur coming from but it should never come to that point where u have to rely on a computer to think for u

 

That’s why I drive like my family is in the car in front, beside, and in back of me. Knock on wood, I have had my CDL since 95’ I’ve never had an accident or moving violation. Is driving on these interstates a dangerous job, yep. Especially with all the distracted drivers on the road today, but we as “professionals” accept that responsibility of the job.

 

I agree....

Could you imagine the carnage if some these drivers today had to actually use instinct or common sense??

Not saying all New drivers are bad- There's plenty of good ones....
