trucker went off Chesapeake bay bridge tunnel

What with your vast experience do you suggest?

 

Not speed but have flashing signs.

 

That bridge gets scary in high winds, especially with an empty trailer.

 

Even worse is the other bay bridge on 50/301 especially with an open top trailer.

 

Crazy...

Couldn't imagine what was goin through his head after blasting through the guard rail 😟
..or even the other motorists..

I used to live down in that area. It used to be a two
lane bridge tunnel till they built the new bridge next to the original. The tunnels are still two way
traffic. There have been lots of trucks run off the
side over the years. Quite often they never even recover the bodies because of the currents.

 

so once again we have driver wanting to dumb it down for non drivers.great idea

 

Im not sure what you mean by dumb it down. I have driven across that bridge dozens of times
in a tractor trailer in all types of weather. I am sure
hundreds of trucks cross it every day with no problem at all. Who knows why the driver ran off the side? Was he sight seeing? Was it equipment
failure. Most likely they will never no why it happened. In a few months the only people who
will remember the unfortunate man is his family
and friends. Keep your eyes on the road and your
hands upon the wheel. Driving aint no game.

 

well dumb it down was directed to driver who wanted speed laws changed.
