safer to drive... vans, tankers, or flat beds?

Well Dylan, I hope you didn't mind the hijacks.

 

I'm late to the game on this one. None of them are safe. Stay at home.

 

Because it's a question that deserves that answer. Sorry dude, that's the way it is. In every case you're driving an 80,000 pound vehicle and things happen when you're not careful. Nothing is safe. You don't need too much safety, it's ####ing boring. The trailer that you pull doesn't matter unless it's filled with highly explosive material that can go off when a guy farts in Montana. The "safe" part is where YOU come in.

 

That video took place in Russia. The driver of the car obviously bought the farm. As for the truck driver, what do you do in that situation? The road was icy, and hitting the brakes would have done nothing. That is a literal "#### happens" accident. The only way it could have been prevented was for the car not to have lost control.

 

Indeed! Post #45

 

I think you meant to quote tonitos?
