You should tell NHTSA their data is wrong; Iโm sure they would want to correct their error.

Did you folks see the video of the woman doing a Rosco P Coltrain on a tow truck (That's what I call it when a "Dukes of Hazzard" Jump goes.... Bad)
She had to be texting.

Yeah, I think everyone agrees the RV driver was 100 plus at fault.
What I think some of us question is whether the truck driver did all that he could to avoid an accident. Maybe I'm just old school, but I believe we all have an obligation to do all we can to avoid an accident and probable loss of life. And while none of us can say for sure from just a short clip, it does not look to me like the truck driver made any attempt to slow down prior to being forced into the median. My guess is it would not have made much difference if he had tried, but trying would count for something.
Old school was a good school!

But I doubt that I would have done anything any different. Drivers who do things and expect other drivers to keep them from crashing just rub me the wrong way. And sometimes stupid hurts.
