    It only takes .045 seconds to die on these roads
    when your driving big rigs..
    This is one of the top 10 most hazardous jobs
    on this planet.. Sure am glad I retired in one piece
    after doing that job for 25 years.....

      According to insurance companies, the deadliest job is hairdresser. They come down with a ton of ailments from handling chemicals all day. Second most deadliest is working on board of an airliner. Those two occupations have to get specialized insurance. They are not insurable under regular insurance.

    There is no such thing as a dangerous road. The road just lays there and does nothing. It doesnt move. It doesnt have a knife. It doesnt have a gun. If a farmer falls off his tractor and gets run over by the plow he’s pulling does the field then become a dangerous field?

      Silly analogy its a piss poor design and should not have been built this way, if I’m an architect and design a building with faulty floor structure or the foundation not dug deep enough because of my blueprints it is a dangerous building do to Shotty infrastructure and planning. They wanted to make that road quickly and cheaply mostly all roads are separated for this exact reason there should have been a barrier period!

      do not look at the on coming traffic. it will draw you into the on coming traffic, if there is a white stripe along the right side look at it . that is what it is there for. it show the edge of the road and will pull you that way.

      Or he was distracted by the female passenger. How about being on the phone, etc., No one knows so how can you be sure? Where you in one of those trucks? If you were not, you are speculating.

    One has to wonder if the dog in the west-bound truck was the distraction that caused this. Loose animals in vehicles can cause serious problems. Sadly, once the west-bound truck had side-swiped the first tractor-trailer then what happened after was inevitable, as the impact of the steer tyre of the west-bound unit with the trailer tyres of the first truck will have broken the steering and probably suspension on the front axle and sent it across the road straight into the other truck. Sadly, there was not much either driver could do as loaded trucks take a long time to stop at those kinds of speeds...

    Nothing wrong with the road! It is the way people drive. Slow down. Safety first. Both hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.

    Everyone listen to the guy at 1:50. I realize this happened between two trucks, but I see it every day anywhere I go. People driving way over the speed limit, tailgating, and driving like idiots. It's the premise I guess that they are above the law and can drive any way they want. It pisses me off when people choose to drive that way because they are endangering my life, not just their own.
