Not sure of the circumstances here, but I witnessed a fully loaded logging truck passing a small car in a unplowed passing lane full of slush that coated this vehicle near Bednesti yesterday. These drivers need to have respect for the chaos their rigs can cause to others.
Where else would you suggest this driver pass this small vehicle who can not go very fast due to the slush on the road. This would have been the safest spot to get around this vehicle. Usually it is the small 4 wheelers loosing control while trying to pass in conditions there skill level or vehicle can not handle. In front of that small car is the safest place to be from the perspective of the truck driver.
Most log truck drivers drive like jerks. It’s all about their time and $$ They couldn’t care less about the near accidents/ accident they cause.
