Right should have said "Throttle" but we knew what he meant 🙂

I can't find it now, but I read the article about that roll-over, and the couple were elderly and walked away with minor injuries. The Driver said it caught him completely off guard. The article also credited the cable barrier for preventing him from crossing into oncoming traffic.
Saw this video about how to handle a blowout - All good info, but I honestly don't think I would automatically react the way they recommend.

Don't know about the article you read but the cable barriers DID NOT prevent him from crossing in to oncoming traffic. If you click on my link above you will see that the coach ended up on it's side, with the truck, and it had slid all of the way across the oncoming lanes and stopped in the curb lane. It was fortunate that there was no traffic in the opposite direction at the time when the RV was sliding over.
Just saying what I read - wasn't there, don't care.
Found it by the way - it was actually a quote from the State Patrol, so take it for what it is worth.

I still think it's a case of driving too fast. And over reacting.
He was in left lane passing and going too fast. Had he been driving the speed limit a coach towing should have been in the right lane, it wouldn't have flipped over when he tried to go around around what ever was laying in the road.
Over reacted at high speeds. Just saying. We will never know what really happened from just the video though.

We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
