RV Blows Tire Causing Roll-Over Video

Interesting.
I frequent I80 and drove it from East to West on few occasions.
Have never seen a cable in my trips.
Than years ago I hit black ice on European roads.
After first surprize I was able to regain control, but was already on the shoulder.
Everything would end painlessly if some *&(*%^$ would not make side markers sitting on concrete post.
Small 1x2 strip of concrete can do a lot on sheet metal at certain speeds.

I bet that this exchange pointing to the cable you did not see before, even without changing your general opinion gave you some food for thoughts.
There is Cloud Dancer posting on Mercedes forum btw.
I happen to know him personally. :)

Having driven I-10 across Louisiana and Texas many times in the last 30 years, I've become very familiar with the installation of that cable. I knew from the very beginning that it would become a serious nuisance for a big motorhome, and for big semi trucks. Avoid cable encounters at all costs, was/is my thinking on it.

And you are entitled to your opinion, what should not change forum rules.
Some of us learned to see something we did not see before, some enjoyed exchanging the point of view and opinions, that what makes Internet Forum so much fan.
Than we will always have left lane blockers and forum members who will complain about anything.

At least some of us.

The title of the video and this topic is pure speculation.

IMHO the other thing that is abundantly clear is this thread should be closed!
