The accident closed the north bound lanes for over 6 hours. Oh by the way the driver was nor seriously hurt. How would you liked to have been stuck in that mess?
By the logic in a couple of these post there isn't a need for Semi drivers to get CDL either!!!
I don't like government regulations any more than the next guy, BUT being able to drive a 26,000# vehicle combination on the same license that is needed to drive a Yogo is a bit on the illogical side!
The Feds require that you have a motorcycle endorsement to ride a motorcycle, it seems illogical that someone operating a vehicle that weighs at most about 1,000#, needs an endorsement, and one that is moving 26,000# doesn't.
My guess that the reason there isn't the push for the RV license is that we just don't cause enough accidents or deaths!!
