Visibility didn't look that bad until the 1st cop got into the dust. You'd think that would be a good clue for the second cop and the truck to ease up.magoo68, Bud A., lovesthedrive and 1 other person Thank this. -

All I can say is this to follow up with my earlier post. If I can’t see 100 feet in front of me in snow covered roads and white out conditions, I’m dropping my speed to where I know my truck can stop at the first sight of an obstruction. Even if it is 15 mph. This guy was going to fast for zero visibility but yet some people are justifying it. I’ll stand my ground on this one. Snow covered roads, big truck and no traction, to stop. As a trucker you need to come to grips with reality. This asphalt cowboy had his music blaring and acting like he was on a summer time road on the home stretch. Slow your speed to achieve stopping distance on a snow covered road with no visibility. He still was maintaining too high of speed and didn’t back off once the cop cars disappeared into the whiteness. Wake up people

This is why WY troopers, emergency, and service vehicles all have CRAZY bright red and blue lights on them... You can see them a LONG way off even in whiteout conditions.

It would have been better to know there was a storm up yonder and not be in it at all. But who am I to say...bryan21384 and Bud A. Thank this.
