I have plenty of experience with review boards.. I've sat on a few of them. The accident was reviewed by a group of drivers and the standards of preventable VS non-preventable are applied and the fact is that almost every accident is preventable in some way. The other driver can be totally at fault and not "yeild" to you, but if there is contact between your truck and the OV, you still probably could have done something to have prevented the collision. You are not "at fault", the accident was preventable.
