Anyone else think speed might have been a factor???
Maybe Texting and driving
Speed was not the factor,it was the road that was wet and slippery.
I was the person who was in front of the overturned truck. Just happy that nobody got injured.
Stp
You seemed to have navigated fine. Thank goodness for your extra sticky tires.
I am sorry, but I don’t care how wet the roads are, if someone is sticking to the speed limit, 35 kph, their vehichles is not going to flip over or even skid more that a a couple feet!!! Just look at the tires on that vehichle, they can handle soaking wet Highway conditions were the speed limit is 70 MPH, give me a break???
Vehicles don’t magically just slide… obviously did something wrong.
Some people thing that when roads are wet and slippery, a competent driver might reduce speed to ensure they don’t skid, hit something, and turn over. It’s a concept not often applied in Bermuda, however.
Do you “think” the truck just turned-itself over???
Heavy truck HA! That is nothing but a 1/4 ton pickup truck that carries little more than an inflated ego.
Does the bed of that thing look like it has actually ever carried anything?
Plenty like it around.
Totally agree with Triangle Drifter. HA license, what a joke.
I agree Triangle Drifter. Many inflated egos in those trucks, and most of them have an E and a W on the doors, not in that particular order!
Speed is always a factor !
If the conditions warrant it, slow down to a crawl.
There’s no way they flipped a heavy truck like this doing the speed limit, please slow down!
That’s a brand new truck !
Checking cell phone records must be made police procedure…as well should GPS…in each and every instance.Nahhh…do as ahm toe you…an don’t f’get who toe you!
