THe point is SLOW DOWN. Buses are another pain in the ass they go way too fast I was going to Minnesota to visit my aunt and one of those tour buses passed me by like I was standing still and I was doing 69. I can't stand some of these drivers and they cost us more in insurance and more laws get passed., the only good thing is that the greedy salvage yards get more parts to sell at a horrible price at least the one in Carthage.

The truck driver stated HE was going 70mph. Estimates on the Moho was, IIRC, 80mph based on the 13 second video counting the number of center line stripes he passed while on tape. Way too fast for conditions AND speed rating of his tires...glad they weren't killed but the onus falls directly on the driver...:S

I haden't seen anything from the truck driver. I guess HE was going too fast as well. But the point is taken. The blowout MAY have been caused by excessive speed and the wreck may have been caused by the same. Blowouts are caused by many things. Maybe he brought it on himself. Hard to say for sure.

First time for me!:) Sometimes it makes us feel better to reason that it wouldn't happen to US. "I don't drive that fast." "I know what to do when a tire blows." Whatever....it makes us FEEL safer.

This video is a good reminder of what CAN happen. Let's stay on our toes and safe folks!
