comedian Tracy Morgan hurt in bus/truck crash

Here is why political motivation is a BS deal. Number one because it's crazy talk. Number two because it's a rear end accident.

 

There is one fact in this whole story...all the other crap being discussed is useless. Fact is this driver rear-ended another vehicle and killed a person. Twitter, how long he was up, where he lives, political motivation, who he works for, blah blah blah...useless. He killed someone.

 

Sad thing is this could have been anyone of us.

 

Could of been...and can be...what are you going to do the next time you get behind the wheel to make sure it isn't you?

 

I'm going to drive my truck and hope I don't get In an "accident"

 

A lot of articles posted here on this story so I won't post another one.But I read a piece that says Roper's trk was equipped with a system that's designed to slow the trk down and notify him of traffic ahead.Whether it was working is still unknown.Article also said in the last 2 yrs Walmart has had 380 crashes which involved 9 deaths and 129 injuries.

 

If that driver's 2011 Peterbilt was equipped with the newest Wingman ACB, it would have alerted the driver of an approaching fixed object that is 3 seconds away and would have engaged the brakes if the cruise control was on or off. That is not enough of a space cushion to react and stop the truck if the driver was not paying attention. The problem I have with these collision avoidance systems is the number of drivers who rely on them to replace good judgement and fail to maintain attention to driving.

 

I hear that,alot of gizmos in trucks these days,drivers solely depend on.

 

I've heard a VORAD can distract a driver to the extent they can think of nothing but suicide.

 

Just curious how outraged you were on this accident. It is a rear end of sorts.
