    So? If you are the only truck on the road late at night, and come around a bend in the road and there is a stalled vehicle in the middle of the road with no lights....nobody to warn you on the CB. who do you blame then?

    i wish i could count all the times my cb has saved me from all sorts of stuff

    shut down roads because of a rollover (many many times)

    backed up traffic because of an accident (too many times)

    sometimes, debris in the road (a nice chunk of something or even a washing machine)

    yes, the days of a nice conversation while running down the road may be long gone, but the headsup is still there

    Michigan is a no-fault state. Lawyers are going to be limited in what they can do.

    The CB saved me from sitting on 285 all night last year. It's fine by me and always will be.

    The worst part of the video is hearing the little girl crying for her daddy.

    Please folks take your time in that mess. Think of that little girl who may be watching her dad bleed to death.

    That poor tanker driver was rearended 3 times in the video. I'm wondering if he gets 3 different crash events and 3 points (1 for each crash) on his PSP record.

    Another vote for the CB. Turn it on, keep it turned down if you like, when people start talking the red lights bright up at that point you can turn it up to determine if it is worthless chatter or useful news.

    That stuck with me the most Dinomite...thought about it all day. Glad to get home after running up and down 65 the last few days seeing all the wrecks, slide offs and stupid crap. Having my little guy run up hug me happy to see daddy and hoping he never has to experience what I saw/heard in that video.

    CB or not...DRIVE LIKE YOU GOT SOME F'N SENSE PEOPLE.
