  • @BertGriffin88 I live on curves in the country. It is posted at 30 MPH and because the idiots do up to 60 MPH it is dangerous just trying to get out of my driveway. They come flying up on my bumper honking their horns and then racing around me on the double yellow lines in the blind curves.

  • oh.... cripes........

  • If you've never been on a bay area bridge you don't realize that everybody including truckers drives way too fast because they can't stop people for tickets. Bay Bridge especially since it doesn't have a shoulder. Only bridge that I've ever seen somebody pulled over on is Richmond.

  • California = SHIT HOLE

  • SO why dont you slow down other trucks on the other dangerous '"S" curve west on 80 to 580 or 880 where there was a propane tanker big fuel tanker and misc crashes. And how come big rigs get a 10mph grace speed over the posted 55mph max?

  • they said its just a temporary detor

  • Truck are supposed to drop their speed 10-15mph the posted speed. Even more if you have liquid or a top heavy load. So all you four wheelers out there get of my tail on ramps and curves. I am doing my job safely!!!!

  • The curve was posted at 35mph. That speed is for cars not semis. The drivers should have dropped his speed down to 20mph with his four ways on.He was hauling pears his load shifted. I drive a semi I have 950,000 safe miles.

  • wow that sux :(

  • actually its Highway + construction + repairs + speeders = crashes.
