[QUOTE="Old International, post: 839897, member: 14916"] Heres the question. It is 2:55 am, and I am in charge of a 200% load in double trailers. I am doing the speed limit, +- 5 MPH(55 mph). 4 lane highway, with a center turn lane. Road is dry, weather is clear. No oncoming traffic, headlights on hi beams. Two labs( at least that they looked like) are doing the wild thing in the middle of my lane. By the time I see the dogs, understand what is going on, I have less the 2 seconds to do something. Remember, I am covering 88 feet(more or less) PER SECOND. A full panic, both feet on the brake stop will take 250+ feet. A swerve, hard enough to miss the dogs, will result in a trailer turning over, or at the very least, the vehicle leaving the roadway. WHAT DO YOU DO.............. [/QUOTE]
