It shows he has very poor judgment, no concern for other people on the road and he has NO business driving ANYTHING

I've been on that curve a bunch of times. It's pretty steep and not marked until your into it. If that guy was going too fast on the ramp he would have had a bunch of trouble and did. He said his brakes failed but if he was going slow enough he should have made it unless he was using the exit for an escape ramp.

This should be posted for that guy running the "dui thread". There are jobs out there for about anyone it seems.

This is why I posted it. I wasn't sure where his thread was. It seems everyone that comes here with a dui can't find a job, but they are out there.

I have a friend who drove for Swift that was hit by a drunk truck driver.
She pulled off onto the shoulder to read the map and he side swiped her.
He went to jail and she got canned.
I've seen impaired drivers swerving down the hwy. and they were not just sleepy drivers either.

Don't ya know they are always out to get the truckers?
I don't know why they mentioned his past DWI's. All that does is get the locals stirred up. They want to know if he was drunk at the time of the crash. The 4 speeding tickets, I can understand. The highway patrol issued him a speeding ticket. How nice is that. They are loading him up in the meat wagon, and the officer says, "Before you go, sign here." :hellno:

I also believe that his brakes failed. They failed to stop the truck, since he was driving so fast. :lol: :hellno:

Good to hear that everyone was ok. :thumbsup:
