If you crash (and people tend to do that quite often in cars), the damage is bigger with a bigger vehicle. If you don’t need it to move big things ,a smaller vehicle is better for everyone.
Speed limits can be useful to reduce accidents (though I do think they’re also often used to line the state’s pockets, especially on highways) but the fundamental responsibility is on the driver to drive at an appropriate speed for the context and conditions.
If you can’t stop in time to avoid an accident such as a bus gently stopping, the speed limit is totally irrelevant – it’s on the driver to be alert and in control.
Yeah. The driver of the truck wasn’t paying attention.
And was going way too fast.
And was driving a ridiculously oversized fragile ego compensation vehicle
I mean, you can drive a ridiculously oversized fragile ego compensation vehicle and also keep under the speed limit, watch out and brake on time

40, according to Google Maps.
Which is what that truck looks to be going.
While the driver is either asleep, staring down at his phone, drunk, or all three.
Yeah didn’t even attempt to swerve
