Teenager's last words: "Driving and facebooking is not safe! Haha."
Helloooo Darwin awards!

Quote:
Bright, outgoing college teen Taylor Sauer proved in the last minutes of her life she knew right from wrong — but still committed a fatal mistake.

Sauer was making a late-night, four-hour drive from the Utah State University campus in Logan to visit her folks in Caldwell, Idaho. She passed the time along I-84 messaging a pal on Facebook about the Denver Broncos football team. But she stopped short, writing in her final missive, "I can't discuss this now. Driving and facebooking is not safe! Haha."

Moments later, Sauer, going more than 80 mph, slammed into a tanker truck that was slowly creeping up a hill at 15 mph. She was killed instantly; investigators saw no signs that she applied the brakes before the fatal crash. And in checking her cell phone records, they learned Sauer was posting about every 90 seconds during her drive.

"I think she was probably (texting) to stay awake, she was probably tired," Taylor's dad, Clay Sauer, told Ann Curry on TODAY Monday. "But that's not a reason to do it, and the kids think they're invincible. To them, (texting) is not distracting, they're so proficient at texting, that they don't feel it's distracted driving."

Clay and Shauna Sauer, still grieving over their 18-year-old daughter's Jan. 12 death, have become lobbyists in their home state to urge the state legislature to pass a ban on texting while driving. Idaho is one of 13 states in the U.S. that has no such law in place.

You get some weird stuff if you're driving up in the mountains, though. I don't know that highway, but I think there's mountains in southern Idaho where the highways have a steep grade.

Driving up into the mountains here in Colorado, you'll see truck drivers screw up occasionally and lose their speed, and they're hosed. They don't have the power to accelerate quickly at all, so they end up grinding up the highway for a while trying to get it back. And then the trucks that still have some speed and are still managing 40-50 are desperate to pass them before they have to slow down, too, so one messed-up truck can cause a fair amount of lane jockeying.

For that matter, it's the same thing with cars, especially those that don't have a lot of power. My car has enough power to recover, but I've been in rentals and other cars where you'll be pushing up the mountain and then somebody's going slow in the left lane and it just wipes you out.

A situation like that could pop up if you're simply changing the radio station or sneezing. A 65 mph difference closes in a hurry and 80 mph on an interstate is hardly unreasonable (I know I'm at 80-85 for most of my trip down 44 through OK or 35 through KS).

Those trucks that take their sweet-ass time on the highway are dangerous as hell. Especially when it's late and you're on hilly terrain where you kinda struggle to pick up distance as you go up and down over the hills and don't have a prolonged lock on whatever you're coming up on. It makes it really tough to gauge their speed.
Amen to that. I hate it when any driver creeps along on a highway. Drivers that cant handle the min speed should take a side road...Damn! I believe the min speed is like 45 on the Interstates.

Thanks for listening.

stuff it. 75 is the MPH and I pass cops going 80 without ever getting pulled over. 30 mph on the interstate is actually more dangerous than going 5 mph over the speed limit. Its absolutely against the law to go less than 45 on the interstate. Truck drivers won't ever pass another truck till a car gets about 100 feet from the trailer then only to cut off and have us slow down to and wait 15 miles for a trucker to pass another trucker. **** agendas. Stay out of the passing lane if you can't meet the speed.

Truck drivers are, by and large, degenerate assholes.

Being lectured by one is similar to multiplying a negative by a negative.

If a truck driver thinks you are doing something wrong, chances are you're on the right track.
