To the police it really doesn't matter, if you wreck that truck, your going to be charged for failure to maintain control. Anymore they look to charge you with anything and everything they can think of and let the judge decide which charges should be dropped if any. At least that is what all my cop buddies tell me they have been told from their superiors. They use the excuse, if you had maintained control that truck would still be on it's wheels. You and I both know that had he kept going like he was and not swerved he'd have probably killed the occupants in the Kia since they were hanging out into the right lane some. He did what he thought was the right action, if he doesn't lose control then we probably aren't talking about this.

We would if he'd swerved (and maintained control) and caused someone behind him to hit their brakes. People gotta complain - it's our nature.

I just love seeing posts from morons on the news stories involving trucks:
Travis
12/17/09 at 1:09 PM Report Abuse In your face, all you freaking DERELICTS that want to defend these D Bag truckers. "Camden cited Makela for failure to maintain control, and issued driving on a suspended license and failure to provide proof of insurance tickets to Cummings." The scumbag shouldnt have been driving anyways. See.. They are such good people, where would I be without them...blah blah blah. I along with everyone else would be safer.. thats where we'd be.. You morons that defend them should be cited too.. For IGNORANCE and STUPIDITY.

12/18/09 at 6:47 AM Report Abuse Travis - exactly how do you think all of the crap you buy at Wal Mart & the Dollar stores get there? Do you see any train tracks running up to the back of them? No? I didn't think so. Actually, I have a feeling that he's a ********* that failed at driving truck himself - probably couldn't figure out how to go from 5th to 6th gear. Either that, or he's just your regular run of the mill idiot. He probably can't even drive his car because of multiple drunk driving convictions, driving without insurance or just from (again) being a moron.

Gonna be interesting. If you're going through southern WV, VA or NC, you'll definitely want to keep an eye on the weather - it's looking like it'll be a doozie.

 Dayum straight amigo! As many of us here at CAD believe...attack the source of stupidity, not the post.  morons need to learn somehow. PC crap only supports a drooling idiot and makes them dumber.

Where I live (Mannington, WV - outside of Fairmont) they're calling for 4-6" tonight. In Clarksburg & south, they're calling for 8-12".

Yeah my area in Central VA is calling for upwards of 18" and as little as 12". White death is upon us, the local roads are gridlocked with people running out to Xmas shop today since we won't be able to go anywhere tomorrow

That area only gets enough snow to track a blood trail.
Everything south of the 45th Parallel is allot like Ohio. Matter of fact, we are willing to give it all to Ohio for free. I'm surprized Chicago was "chilly." That's where this communist Global Warming religion began.
