Tour Bus almost cut in two
Did any of you see the tour bus accident at Merced, California where the bus run into a metal light pole and the pole did not give and almost cut the tour bus in two? Looked like a Prevost tour bus.

I bet speed had a lot to do with the accident, I have seen these type bus's doing 75 to 80 mph, many even pass me in my motorhome really fast while I am doing 62 mph, just came back from Cali over a month ago and those charter bus's fly down the highways..
You would think since truckers and trailer pullers in Cali have a 55 mph limit you would think charter bus's would also have a limit of 65 mph but they don't.
They do have a limit of 65 if that's what the freeway is posted. I believe that section of 99 right there is posted at 65. It may be 70, but I think it is 65.
But what about I-5 or I-15, and other places as well like Utah that has 80 mph, what I guess I did not get across on my post is why no limit on tour bus mph, I have personally seen tour bus's from Cali to Vegas driving over 75 mph, maybe that's why you wont see me in one.
Can't speak for other stats but in California motorhomes and buses can travel at the posted speed limit. The 55 limit is only for towing something.
