    Now that I see it here I think you are right! Hope the investigation doesn't say it was "faulty sensors''''''like they did on the news. Saw it way too many times on a 3 day news cycle and never caught that...went fat, dumb and happy the guy (cop) went hard to port in time.

    It does look that way. However it is likely that he was in the switch gear because something wasn't working correctly.

    I would have to imagine that the average road patrol cop sees a lot of things like this in a lifetime. Most people spend maybe 30 minutes a day on the road. Truck drivers are likely another occupation that sees a lot of weird behaviour, just missed accidents and smash ups that do happen, on the road.

    Reminds me of a driving vacation I took a couple of years ago from NY to Florida. Spent a little under a week in Florida and had the misfortune to come across three rather massive accidents. I'm not trying to say Florida drivers are bad here but that was more severe smash up than I see most winters around here.
