    Not giving that driver any leeway here but...
    Remember, people, MOVE THE F! OVER when you see emergency strobes ahead. And even if you're not in the lane needing to move over... OTHER PEOPLE ARE, such as truckers. LET **THEM** MOVE THE F! OVER TOO!!! Don't sit there right alongside the truck and pin them in the right lane unable to do anything but slow down and make a complete mess of traffic because YOU'RE more important than the person on the shoulder.

      Did you miss the part where this was on the left side emergency lane? The truck driver was on the left lane illegally. He's so screwed.

      @@Snugbug176 That was before they provided video. Local news did not say the vehicles were in the left lane.
      I was speaking more in general than that particular instance. Nobody slows down, nobody moves over, and people block vehicles that do attempt to move over.

    Put them all in one lane and enforce the speed limit. Get DOT officers to patrol more often..the drivers are DANGEROUS

    I have driven this road for 33 years. In the past year I have called the state patrol and the dept. of transportation about trucks using the left lane. They have done nothing!!!!! It is worst around Riverdale road and down 85s. Tuesday it was pouring down rain, the roads were flooded and there was an idiot driving a rig in the left lane blowing past everyone. I'm glad the officers are ok but now maybe law enforcement will do something about this!!!!

    • @LifeTrucking
      @LifeTrucking 2 місяці тому

      Something else that needs to be enforced is the truck drivers get out the middle lane going UNDER the speed limit causing the rest of us to have to go slower.
      ATL and I-75 in FL should take a lesson from CA and just have us in 1 or 2 lanes going a different speed limit.

    🙏🙏🙏HOPE & PRAY FOR THE OFFICERS, AND ALL EFFECTED. Sounds like this guy was on something, not in right mind, and get SERIOUS HELP.. Unfirtunate for such big equipment operator to drive recklessly.. Any vulnerable situation you got to be extra cautious, mindful, include myself, I need to keep reminding myself and learn from this painful sad tragedy.. 🙏
    I don't like seeing anyone suffer, hope it all works out for all for the best outcome.. The driver must be banned minimum of 12 months, let him think, contempla how tragic his decision was
