Walmart driver at 20 mph over speed limit, investigation ongoing about before on duty

Go back and show me where I have put him on a pedestal.

As far as the HOS with Anne Ferro, she had NO INTENTIONS of ever loosening them before the crash.

You disgust me with the accusations you make towards posters who do not "agree with you."


I hope that when the day comes and you have the rear end accident that you state can never happen, you post it on here and we can treat you the way you treat others.

I have never seen a perfect driver.

Karma is going to be good to see in your case.

 

Well apparent that the majority of the people cannot fathom the statement as shown by the posters on this forum who do think it was doing 65. They cannot think for themselves.

 

Reading that accident report and looking at the picture of that van only reinforces what I said 10 pages ago, had the people in that Limo all been restrained, they would have walked away, here is a VERY telling clip from that report,


The limo van rolled over and came to rest on its left side, facing east, across the center and right lanes. As a result of the collision, one passenger in the Mercedes‑Benz limo van was fatally injured and four other van occupants were transported to the hospital with injuries of various severities. Six vehicles were involved in the impacts, but none of the other 16 people occupying these vehicles were transported to the hospital.


I am in no way defending the truck driver here, but the occupants in that Limo are guilty of not being restrained, which turned an everyday accident into a media circus.

Also, if you look at that Limo van, there is simply no way that van took a 65 mph impact from a tractor trailer, yeah, the sheet metal on the back of that van is torn open, but the wheelbase of that van is unaltered, we haul those vans, they are literally tin cans on wheels, at 65 mph, that van would look like the beer can you crushed on your forehead in college.

 

My point as well. Where is the common sense for the people here.

 

Even more inconceivable, for once it isn't a Fed Ex driver.

 

It was a motor home...quit making excuses for a typical brain dead trucker.

 

What was a motor home?

 

It's NOT a motor home, it's a passenger vehicle, and I guess YOU missed this from my above paragraph?

Rear-end crashes "at speed" on interstates is among the rarest of crash circumstances. By far most often they occur under circumstances same as this one; traffic slowed "for cause".

Variable speed limits are intended to prevent these occurrences by slowing traffic approaching congestion, besides not continuing to add to the congestion from behind.

Drivers have no method by which to better determine a safe speed limit breezing by at 5 or 10 over than a handful of traffic engineers with a tub of facts and guidelines and education and experience.

Absence of a crash is no indication of "safety", any more than a performer not falling off a tightrope 100' in the air indicates walking tightropes 100' in the air is a safe activity.

 

How does sitting on the shoulder getting a ticket make "safer"? How is a crash rendered "safer" at 20 over?

Trucks shouldn't be "going with the flow" at any time or place.

The largest, heaviest, slowest, least maneuverable vehicles with the greatest stopping distances should be the slowest vehicles on any section of road.
