Your right we can argue all day long. But before you guys get back to talking about whether it was a Grand Am that got all good and smashed up let me say this one last thing.....
If their are 65 million idiots running around with hand grenades and 7.5 million idiots with atom bombs which group do you want to go after first to stop being idiots...

Look at the spoiler.

My father in law was a truck driver for almost 40 years (retired 10 years ago) and had 1 major accident and that was a car passed on the right and ran into him. The driver has the same responsibility to keep his vehicle under control, if you are going fast enough you can't stop for cars in front, and you rear end them you are at fault, there is a reason on most interstate speed signs trucks have a 55 mph speed limit, I believe the driver was going too fast (very common) and could not stop when he noticed the stopped cars. I paint big trucks, and can tell you in Alabama there is no training, or enforcement, I can go get a cdl by taking a written test, and backing a truck up 5 feet

Wow! I just saw this post today. SAD!!!
Most of you probably know that my husband is a truckdriver. We can both say that you never know whos fault its gonna be. I trust my Troy 110% in his semi. I would stand on his hood, i trust him that much. His brother in law, is another story. He shouldn't be allowed to drive period!! I saw him (bro in law) pass in a no passing zone and run a little car off the road. He can't be fired, he's self employed. One time he parked on top of a hill (slanted down) and didn't put on his break. His truck went rolling down the hill. I thought he was in it. It drove in our lane to the bottom of the hill then just crossed the center line into a camper being pulled by a pickup. Him and my husband ran down the hill to try and catch it?? Reflex?? I drove Troys truck down there and Troy asked that man if they were ok and that man said yeah, but I think that guy had a heart attack or something. And that man ran to check on the driver. Little did he know, there was no driver. There was a little girl in that pick-up the same age as bro in laws daughter. He didn't even get a ticket!!!
There are idiots everywhere!!!! Cars & Trucks.
Oh yeah, Troy said here in Okla. when you have a CDL and are in any accident you have to take a blood test. Sounds good to me!
