UPS Driver Killed in Pursuit

[superballs63]

So sad when one loses their life; regardless of the circumstances...except ISIS scum; oh and the Shaba mongrels!

Would you say the same thing if he had hit 5 people in a crosswalk? I'm glad this idiots behavior only hurt himself.

At least he got one last thrill before he passed, RIP.

He should have called it off why? Could he forsee this goofball rear ending an 18 wheeler??

My favorite part of the article is after it says that he ran into the back of a big rig. "The truck driver was not hurt" YA THINK??

Not as obvious as you might think. My former loop partner and good friend went to feeders a few years ago. He was pulling doubles when he was rear ended by a driver traveling at a high rate of speed ( in excess of 100 mph) hit him square in the back of the 2nd box. He was hospitalized for a day and a half. Rear trailer was totaled. Dolly had to be put on a flat bed and hauled away and the pintle of the lead box was broken. The force of the impact threw him around the cab with such force he suffered a concussion and whiplash. Although he had no broken bones, his neck and back have never been the same.

Doubles are different, since it's not a sokid trailer. You hit a 53' trailer square in the ass, he'll hardly notice, and you'll be dead (depending on speed)

Question is, would his driving job (PC driver, not feeder), even be in jeopardy if he had just taken the ticket? I don't think so unless perhaps he got written up for reckless driving which I guess is possible. Honestly, I don't know UPS's policies on this. I know a routine ticket once you are seniority won't end you.

At 30 years old, no less. It's pretty sad the percentage of people over 25 living with their parents these days.

Depends how you look at it.....in his situation he probably didn't want to pay $900+ only to sleep for a few hours vs staying with his parents for free. You also have those type that talks about what they have in a arrogant way. Now that type is babied too much.

Been driving for decades, never got into trouble. Then again, I obey the law.

 

[superballs63]

The problem wasn't the 90 MPH. Hell, on my way home sometimes I'm carving through traffic in excess of 100 MPH.

Just don't get caught

If I take my bike to work in the summer, sometimes I let loose on the way home. A cop couldn't catch me if he tried...but you cant outrun a chopper.

Problem is, your 'chopper' can't outrun a Motorola.

All he's gotta do is stay close enough to have you do something stupid, like this guy did, with the whole "rear ending" a tractor trailer

By chopper I meant helicopter, as in I cant outrun a helicopter. I don't own a chopper, I ride a crotch rocket...because their actually fast.

Thats cool, I kind of hope I die on a motorcycle. It would be one hell of a last adrenaline rush crashing into something at 175 mph.

Why not just pick out a bridge abutment just so you don't involve anybody else.
