lucerne tractor Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I just showed it to my kids, one is close to licence time, one right behind her. Just a reminder how anything can happen at any moment, so be careful and don't do anything stupid. Two minutes late is better then never again.

DigDug Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 ya, I sent it to my 20yrs old daughter and 18yr old sone who I think texts and drives. I want them to "see" real life situations so maybe they can prevent one. .

Olivetroad Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Game over - you had better be ready to go at anytime - it may not even be your fault - how many times have we all squirreled around on a patch of ice like that?Sad.

other dog Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 There was a bad accident not too far from here last Monday that killed 3 people. 5 trucks and a couple of cars were involved. 2 sludge trucks were going west on rt. 60 and 2 wood trucks and a lumber truck were going east when the first sludge truck crossed the center line. Killed the sludge truck driver,and 2 guys in one of the log trucks.They burned up in the truck. Several more went to the hospital, the cars came along and hit debris in the road as the cab was knocked completely off of one truck, and there was axles, logs, parts and pieces of trucks,and sludge all over the road.This happened about 5 am and 60 was closed all day. I know the guy that was driving the Mack with the load of lumber,he wasn't hurt. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

umodelnut Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 On the local news a lady died because she veered into on coming traffic, and the reporters specifically said she was hit head on by a Mack truck. She died, the guy in the Mack didn't. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24241-bad-accident/#findComment-112498 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumperAndSon Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 That's a shame. Hopefully the video will teach some people to pay attention. My dad has always taught me to pay attention and learn from other peoples mistakes. I will say that my dad is a pretty good driver. Any time he has to text somebody while he's driving, he always passes the phone to me or whoever is riding with him. He always says to focus on what's up ahead. We believe that alot of accidents are caused by the drivers that are looking at the end of their hood.Not paying attention is the most popular cause of accidents, not only while driving, but in life in general.Ben Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24241-bad-accident/#findComment-112502 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I hate driving on roads that have slush/ice built up inbetween the lanes. As shown, it only takes one millisecond for it to go ALL WRONG.Sad what happened. The world will never know WHY it happened(on phone, texting, or just day dreaming). Speculate all you want.Lost an employee last week, died in his sleep. We are all still stunned, been a 25 yr employee, hired right after me. LIfe if precious.

fxfymn Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 One of the many things I learned early on the job is life is short and you had best live your life the way you want now, because tomorrow may never come.I can't tell you how many accidents I responded to where someone was killed through absolutely no fault of their own. They kissed their spouse goodbye in the morning and never came home again. Makes you appreciate life. Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

Olivetroad Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 After I moved out of the house, everytime I saw my dad or talked to him on the phone (which was every day), he would sign off by saying: "be good, this may be our last day". 15 years later it was for him - he was ready to go whenever it happened.He said the reason he always behaved in life was so that when he died, he got to go the place where all the log chains have hooks on both ends.

fxfymn Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Wrecks involving fatalities are never easy, no matter how cold you are.And it also makes you obsessive about your kids when they start driving. For the entire time they lived at home after they started driving I was convinced that every time they drove away would be the last time I saw them.

lucerne tractor Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I'm on the road again, first trip, Maine to Pa back to NH with a loader. On the way down there was a Subaru wagon that had spun out and hit the passing lane gaurd rail several times rotating. Both doors were open, one person on the ground not moving and one slumped across the front not moving. I don't think the outcome was very good. Alot of crazy drivers out there. Sitting in Pa tonight, Carlisle, loading in the am, another new loader and back to NH by tomorrow night, then? Who knows.
