Towing above 65
Currently out camping and on the way up I was getting past left and right by rv's. If you have a proper truck and change your trailer tires to LTs. Can trailers be safely towed in the 70 mph range. Thanks

I heard the semi was going slow up the hill holding up traffic. When the other vehicle attempted to pass the semi sped up and didn't let the passing vehicle merge back in safely.
Where in the world did you here that? That is funny. They were going down hill when the wreck occurred!
You heard.. From whom?mich800 wrote:

This is why. The driver pulling the trailer was trying to get somewhere too fast (the speed part). He had to pass the semi to maintain the speed that he wanted. He was not patient enough to pass safely, due to his speed requirements.
If it was not for the speed he wanted to drive, he would have never passed the semi and never had a driver error cutting back in too soon.
He obviously wanted to go faster than the semi or would not be passing it. Driver error caused by his need for speed.
Set your phasers on stun, no more folks need to get killed today...

Yeah, I heard that rumor also, I think it came from Maryland area. Onsite witness using his time machine to teleport back in time to scene and time of accident. I recall he also said that the semi driver was texting his girlfriend and his wife was calling him.mich800 wrote:

Man, you just don't get it. Your commenting on a subject based soley on an unfinished police report that will never go into detail. You have never been on that road evidently so you also don't have a clue about towing on it. In fact, the only thing you know it's what is posted for public consumption which is not the whole story with details.
Wow.....
Your quote....
No no no. The pickup trailer was almost fully passed and pulled into his lane clipping the semi pictured with the travel trailer. Look at the picture. The semi hit the trailer. The guy was hauling xxx trying to make it before the other semi hit him. Didn't make it obviously.

Had he not been speeding he may not have attempted to make the unsafe pass that resulted in his death due to his having more time to consider before he acted. Speed did play a part in this accident.
The fact is that the faster a vehicle is traveling the more likely it is that an accident will result in a fatality.

Wrong... I heard every word that was said on the scanner plus my son came home right after he was at the accident verifying it all. I have every frequency used by all parties involved, something you will never have.
I can pickup the phone right now and contact atleast 4 people that were there on scene as first responders.. You sure can't. I can be there in less than a half hour right now...
