Us screw it where just a tow truck we don't mean anything till they really need us then they see just how dangerous it really is. Just venting because I am starting to hate seeing these articles

Hall of Fame Member Class of 1989	Ask the Trooper if he thinks the tower would still be alive if he had enought common sense to stay that few more minutes, tell him to think about it!!!!! I have seen this too often but nobody addresses the issue. Sorry I had to vent also

But it still is a tragic death as the motoring public at large don't pay attention Move Over law or not. Excuse my demeanor right know but it just peeves me off to no end this crap!!! EDITED: Sorry, this is a condolence post for a fallen brother and we must respect his life which was taken to soon. Edited 1 time by TowZone 07/20/2012 5:46 PM.
