Motorhome bummer

[Dan]

Gregory, I disagree. In a wanderlodge you have to get off of a soft shoulder.
It you stop you will roll over. Get back on the road, then get things
stabilized,

Gardner, Older vehicles don't react like newer vehicles. The tragic
situation started when a Moron got behind the wheel. Even his
reaction reveals a lack of responsibility and shame. Jersey DMV has
a motto "a good driver operates a safe car." I hope the guy gets a
Camper he can control, and we will all be safe. I had a Travco and
believe that the camper is now where it belongs.
I had some classic 1976 state of the art performance cars that don't
even perform and handle as well as a modern 2006 Ford Focus. Today's
traffic pushes older vehicles to keep up a pace that is too fast for
their capabilities. Faced with the situation I would not drive a
vehicle closer to forward traffic than I could stop it or enter a
curve faster than I could control it. Once you leave the road your
mind set should be stopping, not returning to the street. Realize
your limits and Don't let traffic push you to speeds past them.
People like you that consider a reaction rarely get caught up in the
situation.
