man were getting hammered with more snow. wow most snow in the shortest time period i seen in years!

 

i dont, i pass if i can because the limit is 65

and VA, my dad was hit in my explorer by a bus driver turning left infront of him on his green light. bus drivers fault. even made the news.

news report of the wreck with my truck - YouTube


till you come up here you wont realize the snow/ice doesnt slow us down much at all. when you have to live 6 months out of the year with it.. its no big deal.

 

i agree i'm loving the snow. just not the 10 hour days at work then having to go plow snow after its killin me!

 

hang in there the white stuff can be evil after plowing more than 8 hours. you end up getting snow blind and see things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! like you said the lower 48 do not know what snow and ice is all about until you go to alaska. the news videos are awesome an proves ma naturecan stil pack a punch

 

The video says the bus driver "may have been at fault". Sounds like the cops have reservations about charging anybody.

I have seen accidents like this a thousand times. Most of the time a vehicle does have time to complete a turn, IF the other vehicle isn't speeding. I'm not saying this is what happened in your father's accident, but if I was investigating this accident it would be my initial thought based upon how a second slower and the accident could have been avoided.

Your family has to be the unluckiest family on wheels, one vehicle after another totally destroyed in accidents. The insurance company is losing money on your family policy. I seriously wonder how long it will be before they write you guys off as "accident prone".

 

I thought the same thing when I saw it. If your dad was going slower the bus would have had time to make it. I was only in one accident in my life and it was this same scenario, I saw his headlights but didn't realize he was speeding. Bus drivers with kids don't take big chances.

 

The older I get, the more risk adverse I become . Maybe thats why insurance co's treat the young drivers like .

 

I hope you are talking about clear conditions. I can picture your whole family sitting around in wheelchairs from car wrecks talking about "those crazy drivers" out there. It's really not funny.

 

actually the bus driver was ticketed and the district has already accepted fault. the news report was done the same day. the police report clearly states with 2 whiteness's that the bus turned right in front of my dad. its great you know everything about every situation from 5,000 miles away.

btw have NO surcharges on my insurance. AS NONE OF THESE WRECKS HAVE BEEN MY FAULT! how hard is that to understand?!? and OUR insurance has lost ZERO! on us. the other peoples insurance pays because they are at fault. we have not had a claim (other then glass) in years!

my dad was going 40mph in a 45mph zone just as the 2 witness's said. the bus WAS stopped PER the witness's then at the last second she decided to turn. exactly like the stupid woman that turned left in front of me in my '00 excursion. my dad purposely swerved to the left..causing him to hit the rear of the bus. to avoid the middle of the bus which. he was so concerned about any kids getting hurt he did everything he could to avoid it. she decided to turn way to late. anyone with a CDL and driving kids around should know how to freaking drive and WAIT like any remotely smart person would have.

jesus you people. might as well keep my pics, mods, adventures to myself if all your going to do is bash.

i LOVE how you guys assume you know everything about every situation. a road you've never driven on mind you with i swear some of the worst drivers there is.

and as if anyone cared. my dad has 2 broken hands which both need surgery, needs surgery on both knees (from hitting the dash), ankle issues, whiplash, chest wall injury. we're still finding more injurys every time he goes back to the doc.

 

come on man, dont be a fuddy duddy and stop posting pics! theres lots of people that enjoy lookin at them. it just a couple guys opinions, no biggie, everyone is entitled to their opinion. just relax and have some fun.

im still welding up my stupid plow mount on that ford i got. boy is the snow piling up! MIGHT have to snow blow. boo! boo!! i need one of them hats that hold beers when i snowblow.

 

Hope your dad recovers fully and quickly. My prayers are with him!

 

i hope your father is doing better and has a quick recovery. I have enjoyed all your post and pictures of the last real frontier. I have a coworker that was in Nome for 5 years and enjoy her stories of Alaska and the wildlife and the true value of the people. About the same time you started posting your videos and pictures and it just made all her stories come true. My wife and I would like to visit your great state in the future. I know if my wife gets sick again we will be up there. Hang in there and thank you!!!!!

 

besides we all know you couldnt stop if you wanted, you like being a ham and you know it. posting up braggin pics.

 

damn it i need more snow pics

 

Hey U-no and AK-ex, we want to see some snow pics. My sled is looking lonely sitting on the trailer here .
