Dangerous Trailers.org Presents Yet Another R.V. Accident Anybody Can Drive One!

[MountainDweller67]

Wow, a video 'after-the-fact' scare film for a wrecked RV that you don't know what caused it. Oh, yeah...released by some scheister lawfirm in DC, no less. This is a regulatory money-grab to increase law and rules and fines and fees...nothing more. If you look at miles-logged, RV-drivers are safer than the average lot...and what you didn't mention in the video was that the RVIA has already handed it to your organization once over such 'inuendo' to the contrary, anyhow.

[LibertyAcres]

The video is pointless. It doesn't address what caused the accident. Most likely scenario, a small car cut off the driver of the RV forcing him to swerve off the road. Doesn't matter what licensing you have, when you have people who can't drive their little cars properly.

This is coming from someone who has log thousands of miles of RV towing, and seen it all when it comes to the disrespectful driving habits of car drivers.

Once people know how to drive a car and all accidents are eliminated then and only then will you tell me I need a special license to drive my motorhome.

Diabetic is the problem. Some old man rear ended my dad on a bike

[LadyShyye]

Sad when people get behind the wheel of an rv and do these long trips without much practice how to handle them. My cousins whole family except baby were killed by a driver of an rv who just got behind the wheel and crossed the center line. this was before seatbelts were enforced. only baby survice becuz mom shielded her with her body just before impact. If you are feeble or don't Really know what you're doing..PLEASE< PLEASE Don't rent or use an RV for travel. Save a life. could be your own .

I am a type 1 Diabetic, the government will not allow me to have a CDL license so I am actually very glad that I don't need a special license for my RV. They restrict people because they are afraid they will pass out behind the wheel, I have never passed out and I am in perfect control of my Blood Glucose so I have limited to no chance of passing out anywhere. They need to change that law so that I can get a CDL as well. it is discriminatory against diabetics who never had a problem!

[MountainDweller67]

@redyoshi1985 - such a pro-position troll...are you also a member of their lawfirm, or what? If not, don't feed the video trolls...

[redyoshi1985]

@MountainDweller67 Actually I am not trolling I am simply stating a fact, Believe it or not it is the stupid people who ruin it for everyone, and if those "so Called" video trolls agree with my very valid point then I am more than happy to add fuel to the fire. Get over it Jarhead!!

[redyoshi1985]

Use your Mirrors to check for vehicles before changing lanes or turning, Stop early if you need to stop at all. Have your vision checked and be extremely alert, also I use these really neat wireless camera and monitor systems, mount the camera on the back of the camper or RV and use the monitor to adjust it so that you can see. I know these can be expensive but it is well worth the coupe hundred dollars for the system, you are helping provide safety for yourself, your equipment, and others.

[dodgeguyz]

and the problem is?!!!!!!

[Elyce0]

I hate to be the one to tell you this but there isn't a whole lot of training that goes into driving a bus either. Once you've driven it once, every time after that is just practice and some of these motorhomes are on the road most of the year being driven by retirees. Not to mention it depends on the class rating of the motorhome itself. The one you show in this video is nothing more than a box truck and they are everywhere.

[Fapfapfa]

Nothing duct tape cant fix

[Livinggreen100]

This is what happens if you forget to empty the sewer tanks. they are probably empty now.

[Max1Chase1]

I agree that anyone wanting to pull any RV trailer should be required to take a 3 day training session, and recorded on their DMV license. also you must have class B license to drive most trucks with air brakes, but none is required to drive a 40 diesel coach with air brakes weighing more than 30,000 lbs something is not right here and DMV needs to get in gear and fix this.

[Rebelwon]

I agree with you to a point,there are exceptions to every case.Family members starting teaching me to drive at age five and by the time I was seven I was driving solo.But that doesn't mean that you are capabable of handling something this size.Our government requires that we have to have a special license to drive trucks and motorcycles but anyone can drive a car at sixteen and rent ryder and u haul trucks at eighteen.Now where is the good sense in that thinking?

[supersnot4]

We don't need ANOTHER license for the government telling us what we can and can't do. If you don't have the experience to know the difference between an RV and a car, then you really shouldn't have a license in the first place!

[351cleavland]

@supersnot4 too bad DMV doesn't test if drivers truly understand the difference between driving an RV and a car/truck.

[mesjc261975]

Thats the problem. Everybody thinks "anybody can drive one". U still need to learn to drive something that big

[Rebelwon]

I worked for a recovery service in Indiana and we worked an accident invovling a long wheel base dodge van towing a tri axle airstream , that was being driven by a seventeen year old girl.Now what parent in their right mind would allow that?

[supersnot4]

@Rebelwon My 15 year old little sister can actually drive better than most 30 year old men. Age is completely irrelevant after 13, the problem is that too many people these days teach their kid to drive a prius just before their 18th birthday, and that's all they drive for the next 10 years.

[51supernova50]

seeing how 80% of these RV/Trailer tow people are over the age of 70 and more than you think drove a tank or flew a jet in the war makes them inexperienced at towing a trailer. Just for that I will never hook up my trailer breaks again.

[MrBrashnak]

Just thought it important to point out that this is not a motorhome, but a travel trailer being pulled by a truck. You would have to include every common Joe pulling a box trailer, or loaded flat for that matter, if you tried to put some restriction in place.

[TheWyodon]

dam attorneys Ya they will get money for themselfs and give you some change.

[40ozFood]

@TheWyodon themselfs? Is that some sort of elf?

[MrDaveyd007]

Well the 'slide-out' still works!

[isilder]

Probably just fell asleep or brain fade for some reason

[Furball2k]

Yeah, one of the largest vehicles on the roadways today, usually driven by some of the oldest people on the planet :/

[alphadog99]

Who do I call if a poorly trained 16 year old gets behind the wheel of a car and hits my RV while texting? I assume your firm could handle that??

[MrBrashnak]

@alphadog99

Or the elderly lady that pulls her Cadillac right out in front of me pulling a trailer...

[luvmakingfunofu]

@alphadog99 You would honestly feel OK with suing some poor family? As long as any damage was repaired by insurance, what more do you feel you need to be compensated?

[NITECOREPD]

@alphadog99 u call their mom

[fomlyzor]

we have an injury

[kenfo0]

shill for the insurance companies...
