Nashville Tractor-Trailer Accident Lawyer Discusses Smart Interstate Driving Tactics
Give Trucks Plenty Of Room
As an experienced Nashville tractor-trailer attorney I often advise my clients and readers that when traveling along an interstate highway give the big trucks plenty of space and whatever happens never run in a pack of trucks. The aerodynamics of the truck car relationship at higher speed is totally different and the car is at a serious disadvantage.
Reference a recent three truck fatal tractor-trailer wreck on I-81 in Virginia just across the Tennessee line. Truck one carrying livestock left the highway into the median and when the driver tried to correct, his rig flipped over. Moments later truck two which was following too closely rammed into the overturned truck, killing that driver. When truck three tried to stop to avoid colliding with truck two his rig flipped over.
Fortunately, there were no cars in close proximity. Had a car driver been running with these trucks the result would not have been good. It can be fatal to make assumptions that other drivers are as competent as you are. It can also be fatal to assume that you are as competent as you think you are.
The lesson here for Nashville drivers is that you must keep all of your attention on the acting of driving and avoid dangerous situations. You never know when another driver is going to fall asleep, have a medical emergency or get distracted and leave their lane and initiate a deadly collision.
