How fast was he going? If you run the minimum speed limit on icy roads, you will be able to stop without touching your brakes.
Another bonehead wipes out. Makes no difference if the cop was moving or not.Last edited: Jan 10, 2016

Just out of curiosity, if the trainer was passing another truck he would be in the left lane right? How did he hit a po po on the shoulder? Was the cop on the left shoulder or was the trainer passing a truck on the right?

We moved from the right hand lane out from behind another truck in an attempt to pass on the left. Sitting in the passenger seat, I saw flashing lights in the lane before we moved into it, but the vehicle appeared to be in motion in the left lane. By the time we learned that a) the vehicle was not in motion and b) it was a squad car, no action would have prevented a collision.
Since I saw the flashing lights when I did, had I been driving, THAT'S when I would have slowed down until determining the actual situation. The fact that we were closing the following distance, was an indication that we were likely going too fast for for conditions.
I have been assured that, since I was not behind the wheel, I would not be reprimanded(?)... We are heading back to the yard after getting unloaded and we will know for sure.
