What's the speed limit on that road?

That's an awful lot of damage to the truck in what appears to be a neighborhood.

Was this in a school zone? That's a lot of damage.

It's not in a neighborhood. It's a fairly congested street with neighborhoods on both sides of it.

Not in a school zone. The school the kid was walking to is less than a mile away though.

It's not a neighborhood it's a 2 lane highway.

THAT road has a 55 MPH speed limit? It looks like a neighborhood.

What the frick? I read the thread. It still looks like a neighborhood to me.

You're clearly tore up about this, but don't attack innocent posts. Control yourself or get off the internet.

My wife's parents live I'm that area. By no means, is that road anything close to a neighborhood. I wouldn't call it a highway, but not even close to a hood.

I'm not disputing any of that. But it's two lanes with no neutral ground and in that photo, it appears there are homes on the road, or at least yards that come up to it. 55 seems high BASED ON THE PHOTO, regardless of how you define the actual road. It was an observation that some of you are taking as an argument or picking a side, which is fricking dumb.

The response to my observation was way over the top. The dude is clearly more wrapped up in this situation than others, and he is flying off the handle for benign posts.

That's cause it's not 55. The guy was incorrect. It's 45.
