putting his coffee cup down..???

Not even a cam just steering wheel sensors. Ack!!!

BIP hands off, pull over and get out, you are ternimated.

 

Youre a wise one. Whose not to say Ive done that a time or two off inverter when wife is peacefully asleep. We kept a Mr Coffee behind us in that cabinet on the left.

Remember the swiftie outside the cab steering inside the window?

 

My common sense side says this accident had little to nothing to do with placing down a coffee cup.
We will see when the facts come out but my gut tells me he either fell asleep or more likely it had to do with a cell phone from what I witness going by me every day in the left lane.

 

I don't think my hands have ever been at 10 and 2.... left hand is usually somewhere around 8 and right is normally on top of the shifter (sometimes it rests in the general vicinity of 4).

 

Pray explain to me... 70 mph you need what? 350 feet to stop a semi on dry concrete in good weather loaded? Maybe down to about oh... 240ish with ABS braking full? Or even a little less with full Disk all around?

That takes oh... 8 seconds maybe a dosh less than that 6 seconds?

Once in a while I have had to make stops right now after comprehending with EYES FORWARD a problem not too far ahead. And I have in the past told stories about how I just about have to smash into a small SUV with three children in the back still at 31ish mph before I horsed her into the left lane at Akron. That took a few seconds but NO where near enough.

Coffee is rejected as BS on my end. SOmething else is the truth. Considering you need what? 450 feet to SEE a problem, react to the problem mentally, physically and another heartbeat or three for the airbraking to develop the braking power to make it happen.

I know this driver didnt see a #### thing.

 

I’m in Michigan today, 14’ wide - ‘supposed’ to be doing permit speed of 50 mph.

At 59, I’m getting passed by a LOT of traffic. I’m taking the shoulder, because I can’t guarantee that high sided vehicles can even STAY IN THEIR LANE.

I lost count of truck drivers passing my load and escorts with face buried in cell phones, or just dumb looks on their face and no CB.

Hate Michigan drivers/permits with a passion.

Guarantee the guy was knee deep in the phone.

 

Well if the guy would read @x1Heavy posts about driving with the coffee on floor without lid and not spilling a drop, none of this may have ever happened.
