Trucks Collide Head On

This type of accident is my biggest fear, you can do everything right, and some guy blows a steer tire, or strokes out and comes across the median and takes you out.

I guess if it’s your time, there isn’t a dang thing you can do about it.

 

RIP to the deceased.

We can’t sterilize every driving environment, especially with those stupid cable systems. A semi-truck runs them right over, while they tear the crap out of anything else that comes into contact with them. Imagine being a motorcyclist hitting that system. The rider(s) will be desecrated. If a vehicle driver dozes off or is distracted and drops off the pavement, they can’t simply ease back on, because that system grabs hold of the vehicle and destroys it. I can’t imagine how much worse the injuries are or how many millions of dollars that system costs and is costing. It’s a system our government of idiots signed off on, making their connections even more wealthy, while we the people foot the bill. You don’t see that cable system along an expressway anywhere else in the world. Why? Because it’s been proven dangerous.

I have far less concern on the interstates than I do on 2-lanes and in towns. The chances of an accident are exponentially higher in those two areas, than on the big road. I wonder if we should attempt to sterilize them, next?

 

I believe the private production of roads would have more capital to spend on road safety, construction and minimizing traffic for their customers that use the road. There's so much waste in road construction and most of it is so poorly managed, it's no wonder why the "infrastructure is crumbling".

 

I have and I hear you.

 

My greatest fear is another semi coming up from behind, tailgating and slamming into me. You do everything to be safe while driving in snowy conditions or fog and then comes along some inexperienced idiot and slams into the back of you.

 

I vote for semi truck ejection seats!

 

Haha! That landing, though.

 

You would probably get a "abandoned vehicle" on your record.
