Time to get these damn RVs off the road. You cannot drive a semi-truck without a special license and testing. Why are retired clowns allowed to drive these gas guzzling road hogging traffic delaying monstrosities on our narrow roads with a regular drivers license? Make them take interstates or hire an escort.

Right on! When will these retired assclowns realize these RVs are like driving a bus.
Brake failed? Any bets on he was just driving too fast.

A break malfunction is so rare. I have never seen one--except on a pre 1960's vehicle.

That road should be closed to RV's. They can't possible stay in their lanes while twisting and turning around the cliffs. They are such a menace.

"Claxton, his wife and another passenger were driving about a mile north of Fort Ross Sunday morning when an RV on a curve crossed into the path of their Lexus, reported the CHP."

That was my uncle.

I believe there are signs (at least in Marin) telling people not to drive rigs longer than a certain size upon Hwy 1.

Roy Claxton, the man killed in the crash, was Mark's and my uncle. His wife is my mother's sister.

I am so deeply sorry about your uncle. We drove past the accident soon after it happened. Didn't stop because there were already a number of people helping and thought that we would just be in the way. I saw a woman being helped up the hill and I assume it may have been your aunt. I will never forget her face. I pray for her and your family daily and I hope you can find peace.
