With the weight of the truck at the speed it’s traveling, the required stopping distance is as shown. You can see the line of sight for this truck driver. The driver cannot see the hazard within the required stopping distance. So even though we've spent a lot of money on training the truck driver, made sure the brakes are good, and maintained the truck; because the dozer operator didn't build the road right, the driver can't avoid this accident.
