    This has to be the fastest covid 19 death on record.

    Tanker driver taken out and beaten and arrested.

    No word if it's a fuel tanker.

    Edit: and yes it was a fuel tanker.

    Would be a whole different story if they'd set it on fire.

    Good deal. Having driven doubles for years , being “told “ to ‘back up” by (who cares) - whilst #### ums are setting fire to things . . .

    Poor chap was apparently checking the security seal on first trailer . . .

    Stupid games - stupid prizes.

    Fed Ex has a problem stopping on a normal day. Anyone remember the one in Dayton, about 10 yrs ago. Video showed him swerving and sliding into the cops. I couldn’t help but bust out laughing, when I saw it. My family was appalled, I couldn’t help it, thinking of about what must have been going through his mind. Ooohhhh Sh.!!!!

    The video is on "What if it snows" thread.
    See if you can move it over here.
    And THAT is why I wouldn't stop

    While I try to keep a high level of situational awareness. Should I find that I cannot avoid a situation like that. I will not be stopping for any reason.

    What was the man doing in between the trailers? Driver had no way of knowing he was back there. I'm 100% certain he was trying to unhook it to loot the trailers and didn't think the driver would take off. Now he's dead. I feel no sympathy for opportunistic looters.

    I remember that. That was in New York. Turns out the biker who got hit was driving/riding with no license. He was from Lawrence,Massachusetts. In fact at the time of the incident he was actually due in court in Massachusetts to answer for drug charges(the RMV never gave him a license because of his drug charges-which they can LEGALLY REFUSE to do so). He had a rap sheet literally 20 pages long(his 1st conviction was at age 12 IIRC).
