Recently there have been a couple of topics concerning how fast you drive your rig or how you handle a blowout, etc. Last year there was an accident in Nashville where the driver of the Class A killed a Nashville police officer. It was discussed on this forum and some agreed it was the driver's fault and some did not. Basically it is
left for the courts to decide.
This post is to show you the possible consequences of your actions while on the road and how it can affect others.
In the case of the accident in Nashville, the driver has been charged with reckless homicide and should be going to court soon to hear the results of that charge.
The family of the officer that was killed have filed a civil suit against BOTH the driver, and his wife for wrongful death and are asking for $5,000,000.
Here are links to the articles concerning this accident and perhaps it will provide a little bit of information to help us all make better decisions while we are behind the wheel of our large RV's.

With whatever might have taken place here, I'm betting that it wasn't a result of going too slow and especially with the first sign of possible trouble ahead.
