Two things here: One, most of you here sound like a bunch of 10 year olds. You really need to take some grammer lessons. Two, you need to get off the cell phone when driving. Accidents like this would be avoided.

ALL drivers sux. passenger car and truckers !

How do you all know that some idiot in one of these vehicles wasn’t talking on the cell phone or even worse, texting while driving. Both people in trucks AND cars do that.

New York drivers are the worst, I have lost count of how many times I’ve almost gotten into an accident with one.Been living in New Jersey for the past 20 years, too close to NYC for my own safety because I have to drive. In my opinion they should pay the tolls for crossing into NJ, just for the inconvenience of dealing with them. Dont get me wrong they’re great people, but as soon as they get in the driver seat they turn into mindless savages.

I am a truck driver and believe that the responsibility to drive safely lies within all drivers, not just truckers. Typically, truck drivers have a better field of view than automobile drivers and can see further ahead. Yes it is true that many drivers tend to cut in front of trucks but do not realize that a truck simply cannot stop nearly as quickly as a car. Also, I see many drivers talking or texting on their cell phones which is so very dangerous, it only takes a split second for a tragedy to occur. So please, lets ALL be more responsible and careful on the road!!!

I`M A DRIVER,I THINK TRUCK DRIVERS NEED TO SLOW DOWN.BUT I ALSO THINK THAT PEOPLE SHOULD`NT TRY TO CUT IN FRONT OF A TRUCK. THAT`S THE WRONG THING TO DO.IF I SEE A TRUCK CLOSE TO ME ON THE BACK I MOVE ASIDE AND IF IS NEXT TO ME AND HE HAVE THE SIGNAL LIGHT TO GO MY WAY I SLOW DOWN AND GIVE THEM THE SIGNAL TO GO AHEAD.PEOPLE TO HAVE THE WHEEL IN UR HANDS ITS NO JOKE.DRIVE SAFE

I think most of you idiots making these comments need to use SpellCheck.
And stop commenting like you are texting.
It makes you look like an ignorant 12 year old.

I agree with Kris! Car drivers are very rude on the road. My husband is a truck driver and I fear for his life everyday. Don’t expect to traspass a moving truck and think its ok, HE MIGHT NOT SEE YOU and worse, TRUCK DOES NOT STOP ON THE DIME YOU PEOPLE. We all should be carefull and drive slower, but be more carefull around trucks ITS NOT THE SAME AS DRIVING A CAR!!!!

They really should create a law where if you are found to be the cause of an accident, you are fined heavily and insurance can/will not cover it. Everyone would drive safer for fear of receiving this fine.

I’m a Driver. Truck drivers are Rude, and Very Rude. I drive about 100 to 400 miles a day and never feel save if truck is close by. They don’t care about others. They do what they want and unfortunately troops or police officers do not chase them. For police is easier to stop us, small cars drivers, . I see tens sedans stopped by police on the roads and only once in a while a truck….I suggest police officers doesn’t feel safe also, that why we, regular drivers have to “make living for troops and police officers”. Ashamed! I received speeding ticket not because I was fast but because a truck passed me on a crazy speed, but for police officer was easier to stop me, because we never can argue with police. Rules HAS to be CHANGED! Hope time will come.

Connie is right, Nick. Maybe we need to dumb down the comments for you to understand. People get hurt when others drive to fast. MORE-ON

Sawwy

GILLIE!!!

This is what you get when you cut a truck off and expect tons of moving metal to stop on a dime.

And yes, “Connie”, they should all slow down to 20mph.
Because the whole world has to dumb down to your speed.
T ARD

Truckers and drivers NEED TO SLOW DOWN.

sorry about that
