I remember be young and dumb in my younger years. Had to go, had to get there yesterday. I see people doing it today and think, dang they're are people in that car. One small screw up an someone gonna be hurt or dead! I leave lot of run now and even more in bad weather. Thank for the video!
i saw a peterbilt today riding 10 ft off a car doing about 80 mph and he wanted to go faster. not many professionals left, i dont even bother saying anything to them anymore
Professional driver my ass. LOL! The guy is an idiot, plain and simple. Not sure what goes on in a brain like that. It's no wonder that the public has a bad opinion about truckers, guys like that.
How many times are we going to have to see this kind of crap happening on our highways? Like vtwinbreed said....the I'm a professional comment...pfft, if he was a professional, he wouldn't have been tailgating like that and not have caused the acciedent. Great video Jim. 5 stars bro!
This is why I don't like some truckers. The "I'm a professional" remark. Some truckers need to remember that while you may have a special license allowing you to drive a big trac, there are 20x more "unprofessional" drivers on 4 wheels out there than you are at any given time.
Some people think they are god's gift to the road and just that ego seems to bounce out the basic knowledge that not all people drive with 100% attention or 100% ability. When you forget that, you become less aware.
Great Point..we are trained to compensate for the shortcomings of the other "amatuer" drivers that buzz around us all the time. A true "professional" stays back, aware, and alert..thanks Vtwin..
thanks miss anna..i just read an article that said a four wheeler can have just as much distructive force of a semi truck. However, it would have to be traveling at 360 miles per hour...
Great Video. People and drivers too need to learn to leave enough space and not ride each others bumpers. I always leave enough space between me and the vehicles around me. NO ONE SHOULD TAILGATE ANOTHER VEHICLE. It should be a law against doing that. But anyways Great Video. Take Care, be aware & Be safe.
i cant tell you enough how much this angers me because it happens to me on the highway when im in my car doin 70 to 75 mph hour and the next thing i noe im look in my review mirror @ a fightliner peterbilt kw and there riding my ass and there suppose to be professinal drivers if they were they would know that 80,000 pounds does not stop in just a few short feet
A good reminder for all drivers to leave a safe following distance between vehicles. I do not understand the people that think that basic physics do not apply to them somehow.
i agree with you sean. so many drivers think the cdl is a means to do what they want on the road, just not the case. good video kt! be safe out there!
doesn't seem to matter how fast you're driving these days....you always got somebody stuck right on your butt.....and they don't slow down even when the road conditions are bad....sometimes I think it's safer to drive along the ditch....
I just got rear ended and was charged with Aggrivated assault with a deadly weapon. Hmm..

well there's a major lawsuit to the trucking company & driver.
Hey when this happens & it's the truck driver's fault, does the driver get fired? I've heard they do get fired.
