TurboJimmy, I don't see how you can say that... 'The driver, on the other hand, did not. I really didn't see any sort of corrective action at all'..... You know, all of us at one time or another have been distracted and maybe not in the best position if it were to happen to us. NOBODY is 100% ready for the unexpected. We sure hope that we are but it's not realistic.
If you watch the video very slowly (hit start and stop quickly), you can almost get a frame by frame movement of the coach. He hit is brakes more than I thought (you can see the lights on the toad too).
I don't know why the coach veered left at the very end, believe me, I'm sure he was making every effort possible to straighten that coach out.
I try to put myself in people's shoes and give them the benefit of the doubt.
Also, I don't care for the cable barriers either. Trying to hold a 30,000# plus vehicle is difficult.

You're right, I apologize. It was a little Monday Morning Quarterbacking. I hope to never be in that situation. I didn't see any braking or steering, but you don't know what's going on in the cab.
