<p>[quote user="Ulrich"]</p> <p>So the driver should have known that and adjusted his speed just the same. Still not the fault of the crossing. </p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">Adjusted his speed to what? I am sure the specifcations for stopping distance, both loaded or empty, are taken into account for the design of the road and it speed limit. If the state permits that truck to run on that highway, it is up to them to make sure the truck can stop in time for the crossing if it activates. It is all engineering and regulations. If there is a defect in the engineering and/or regulations, it is not up to the drivers to learn that and compensate. </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span></p>
