Troopers: Truck driver tailgating in I-95 crash

It's no suprise at all. Will it change the habits of the rest of the jerks out there - not likely.

Tailgating it's the source of lot of serious accidents, Every body need to leave the other person enough room and space to brake...I hate it when some one follows me too close...!

I'm sure after the accident was cleared people continued speeding, cutting others off, tailgating, etc. No one ever learns, that's why we keep reading about it day after day.

Please reference my post in the Unsafe Drivers forum.

Point proven.

For me, I95 has become like the Wild West. I had big rigs passing me in the slow lane (far right) while I was in the middle lane just yesterday, and this is nothing. I wish the highway was better monitored by the state troopers. It only seems to be safe when traffic slows everyone down.

I've resorted to taking pictures of sh!tty drivers and posting them on the internet.

What are they drafting off one another. ...the I-95 Truckers NASCAR racing

Trucks and buses should be banned from I-95. Put them on the railroad or on barges in the Sound. They cause most of the accidents and need for constant repair of the pavement. At least check the licenses of these drivers. Many of them are not qualified to drive trucks and buses.

There needs to be a separate lane for the tractor trailers.
More restrictions should be imposed on the truck drivers by the state department. The speed limit must be 45/50 miles per hour for them and they must obey the law whatsoever!

I am so happy to see someone having similarity with me.
You're right about that 1000%.
I wish I could come out the car and beat the crap out of that person. lol:)

My favorite are the Fung Wah buses. They're like kamikazes on a suicide mission.

kma said it best. I do that 95S drive every morning and the truck drivers are the worst. I've seen them on their cell phone, texting, eating and - what I hate the most - agressively pressuring drivers in front of them to go faster by tailgating. I also see them falling asleep and drifting out of their lanes. I see this EVERYDAY.

Thank God no innocent car drivers were hurt in this one, but they all had to deal with the frustration of a terrible morning rush hour delay...

Nothing will happen though. Nothing will change. There are more deaths coming, you can count on it.

Today on my way to work there was a flatbed swerving between lanes including the fast lane where they should not be driving.

The traffic braked abruptly and he looked like he was going to jack knife. Of course he did not, thankfully. Absolutely ridiculous.

Wouldn't that make you just as bad seeing you're distracted taking a picture instead of concentrating on the road???

CT Troopers ALWAYS tailgate!!!

Thanks for posting the driver's name and home town. I hope everyone caught in the tie up caused by that jagoff sends him a thank you card

That's because when they get behind someone that person always tends to slow down to 50MPH and the cop rides their a** so they get out of the way...

TRUE story.

Welcome to I95 in CT -- everyday! The drivers are getting more nuts each day.

Did I read this right. A ticket was issued to a truck driver. I always believed they were above the law with the way they drive. Don't picky on FUNG WAH buses. We are learning to drive BIG RIGS. FUNG WAH driving school.
