Watkins Shepard In a Hurry

@scottied67

The box truck and WS truck both made good clean passes..........exceeding your speed by .....15 mph at a minumum. Is that speed differential reasonable? Hard to tell in the video.

For the life of me.......I don't "get" why people think it's fine to obstruct traffic. Going too slow is just as dangerous as going too fast.

Also hard to REALLY tell in the video..........but the road looks pretty dang good.

 

Maybe you should park if you think conditions are to the point you can't keep up with traffic as you become the road hazard. Ever feel like you're in over your head?

 

Icy roads, curve ahead, and a double yellow line and you dont see a problem? The unsafe steering wheel holder in the watkins truck could have made the pass where its legal and safe to do it. I see these idiots all the time in wyoming tail gating on solid ice and then once in a while I see them in the ditch. Its amazing who these companies are hiring these days. And what happens when drivers jackknife on the ice blocking the road? Then we sit waiting, crying on the cb about how nobody knows how to drive.

 

Well with 10 days on the job he did a fine job in my book for passing a driver who should be parked at the truck stop instead of impeding traffic, because the roads are "slick" although the pictures show a different story

 

I'm sorry but im going to play devils advocate here. Not to knock your driving habits but with as many videos you seem to like to post of people that cant seem to wait to get around you and away from you. It makes me wonder what throws them into that mode or maybe what was going on before said video.

Ill admit I have passed drivers in questionable conditions to get away from that driver as he could not maintain the lane, would not keep a constant speed doing 35 in a 65 with no objects or hinderances in his way and so on.

That driver ended up being a hazard to me and I need to get away from him one way or another. So when I see the same videos over and over it makes me wonder what was going on to make that driver deiced it was time to get away from you and take a decent chance doing so.
