Think he could've maybe pulled ahead and warned the guy instead of just recording given how much lead time there was on the tape?<div><br></div><div><a href="" target="_blank"></a> </div><div><br></div>
 
Seen that happen twice- once with a semi&nbsp; in S.Dakota high winds , also with a much smaller but poorly loaded travel trailer behind a pickup.<br>

Of course, trying to get up next to him or past him to warn him he would have also been running the risk of losing his own vehicle when that thing went. I probably would have dialed 911 to report the problem<br>
 
The issue of high winds and a light trailer. Perhaps they are inexperienced? While I'm fairly inexperienced driving mine I know better than to try to keep going if I'm fluttering back and forth in my lane from wind!<br>
 
I dug in a little deeper and found this ...<div><br></div><div><i><b>"<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.699219); color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left; ">We need to post some important details about the accident.

So, what do you think this'll cost the guy?<br /><br />
