<p>[QUOTE=&quot;STexan, post: 4381117, member: 72749&quot;]Something tells me the truck driver feels he shares much of the blame for not expecting what was going to happen, and making adjustments and preparations, and I&#039;d have to agree.&nbsp; No defensive driving happening there ... by anybody.&nbsp; And I&#039;ll also say that hand-free is not the solution.&nbsp; I can almost guarantee if the truck driver was not &quot;fully engaged&quot; in the phone conversation and devoting little, if any, attention to the driving and the situation, this may not have occurred, for several reasons.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not saying talking on the phone should be banned (handsfree or not), I&#039;m saying talking on the phone DOES MENTALLY DISTRACT from other mental duties and you can not convince me otherwise.&nbsp; (Some conversations can distract more then others)</p><p><br /></p><p>This is not to say the second car passing on the right did not do something stupid, because he most certainly did.&nbsp; I imagine the insurance companies will fight each other but in the end will agree to pay for their own sustained damages as both shared &quot;equal&quot; fault as the driver was heard admitting &quot;I tore him up&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
