Driver dead after colliding with 'hazardous' slow-moving semitruck

Wouldn’t have mattered if it was fetated and he was on the shoulder, tons crash into parked trucks on shoulder too.

 

Daylight , Dry , straight road .

clearly the following vehicle wasn’t watching where he was going .

At least the slow truck wasn’t a school bus full of kids .

 

Did it occur to anyone that the truck might not have been derated but possibly the driver may have been OUT OF HOURS and was probably creeping along (which he shouldn’t have been in the travel lanes) to avoid a HOS violation?
Either way this is a bad scene all the way around!

 

Already been mentioned. Yup

 

A lot safer to just PC to the nearest safe place to park . And legal too

But either way
HOS or de rate or
Flat tires or whatever , it
Should be on the shoulder
My guess of the driver was an immigrant that couldn’t speak English

 

If one truck is following another and the leader moves left at the last minute without slowing down, the one following may not be able to move over if the other lane is occupied. 5mph is basically standing still.

 

That’s IF the driver had option.
For my company Safety encoded 25 minutes. However some drivers had it taken away because they abused it.smh

 

If you’re going 5 mph then your truck is moving. Move it to the side. Going 5 mph on a highway is just dumb.

 

Why didn't the rear driver swerve last minute on the shoulder?
He must have seen he was approaching a slow vehicle

 

Being out of the loop for many moons, what in 'tarnation is this Regen crap? Who's brilliant idea was that, and why do you drivers today put up with that? I just think, with all the distractions on the road today, you really need another? While the "Good old days" had plenty of challenges, nothing like this BS.
You know, maybe someday, when the trucking industry finds a leader, ( Me?,,nah, I'm too busy) maybe some things will get fixed, but with examples like this DAILY, it doesn't look good.
