    I saw more people crash last winter than the last 3 combined.

    Especially one car wipe outs.

    Think for trucks Prime was the Grand prize winner in Wyoming (3) separate crashes, 2 severe, that I actually saw.

    I noticed at exit 345 today all the train tracks are gone and that big parking area right there is closed because it's full of trucks loaded with construction equipment.
     
  7. Let's see the reduction of trucks with

    Lane alert
    Bendix braking system

    What's the bet ppl

    I say 15 by Thanksgiving
     
    Lepton1 Thanks this.

    Yeah winter in WY is not the place to have these automatic braking systems... A deer or a piece of brush passes infront of you and next thing you know your in the ditch!
