Comcast guy may be wrong but that doesn't make any of those drivers any less at fault. You have to drive at a speed suitable for the conditions. If it's not the Comcast guy on the other side of the hill maybe it's a kid crossing the street, or another motorist who broke down, or some random hard object that fell off a truck. The bottom line is that if you can't see it in time to stop for it in the conditions as they are then you are going too fast. 40 mph speed limit don't mean shit when conditions are bad, 20 or 25 may have been more appropriate. |

Blame to go around, but the comcast drivers were putting their lives and trucks at risk for no reason other then blind adherence to their protocol. They should have parked further down the road and/or set out more cones further up the hill. Drivers shoudl have adapted to shitty conditions, comcast should have adapted to shitty drivers. Pretty spot on... |

Lots of idiotisms.
Comcast guy: We own this whole mofo so fuck off. Our union rules say this for cones and signage. Drivers: It's icy so we should not modify our driving habits one bit. Cam guy: Don't do anything helpful like walk back to the crest of the hill and wave your arms. Don't call the popo either. But do get in the Comcast clowns face and be a drama lama. Chevy guy: Don't fix your brakes or let off the goddamned skinny pedal esp if you are in somebodies yard. Fail train unlocked.

The truck was parked for work area protection. Why was everyone driving so fast in those conditions? I would have told my guys to do the same thing, fuck everyone that was to drive that fast in those conditions. The work still has to get completed and it's not going to stop because you're in a rush and driving unsafe in those conditions.

If the hill was there and they couldn't see what's over it, then why not slow down to be on safe side? I never understand people blaming others for verifiable intelligence issues. It's really simple. A smart cop would have sized up the situation and parked at the crest of the hill with his flashing lights on and made sure a salt truck came asap to fix that spot in the road. In WI, we typically salt intersections and potentially dangerous areas asap. We realise that there will be stupid drivers, especially on the first storms of the season and take precautions. It's nice to expect that everyone is smart enough to handle adverse conditions, but the reality is not that way, so we adjust. Comcast should have waited until the road was cleared of ice before starting work. I suspect this was in a southern state where very few of the people understand these kind of conditions. |

It was kind of a meh video until Leroy Jenkins hydroplaned his shitbox into the VW.
No ABS? Icy road? Cars on the side of the road? Slowing down and exercising caution is not an option. Speeders are definitely at fault but Comcast guys could have given a little bit of a shit, if nothing more than for their own safety. For a truck that kind of blends in with the road and the snow, I'd think they'd have some brighter lights like some strobes and LEDs. Their lights look pretty weak. |

It's a blind mother lovin hill!!!!! There should have been cones up at the top of the hill. Every one of those drivers will have an ambulance chaser on the case. They will all settle but Comcast will be paying out on this one.
Then there is the Comcast workers who would make wonderful JBT's. He needs to have an attitude correction pronto. I heard "just doing my job", "as long as I get home safe". What the actual fuck. Take a minute to improve the safety of the situation instead of running your mouth. Oh and apparently it's super deep derp day here.

You can go from wet snow with decent traction to complete zero traction ice in a matter of minutes. The latter 15 mph is fast enough. If the wind picks up it freezes over instantly. |

Around here, the utility trucks (cable included) place "MEN WORKING" (or whatever the latest gender compliant signage is) signs on the shoulder well in advance of the actual worksite. A lot farther back than just the four cones. I don't see any evidence of one of those signs, which would be back at the top of or even before the crest of the hill.
I dislike Comcast as much as anyone, but those guys probably have a specific rule book, and deviating from the written instructions will get them into a disciplinary situation, especially since they're union-represented. So it's easier to do the job exactly as management has dictated, and let the company be responsible. One of the unintended consequences of a collective bargaining environment.

What the Comcast crews should have done was not put cones out before the crest of the hill, but put "Men Working Ahead" and "Warning Lane Closed" ahead signs on the shoulder before the crest of the hill. Probably wouldn't have helped prevent shit because asshole drivers drive like assholes, and I only saw one or two drivers there who was not driving like an asshole.

As someone who works on roads, and bridges I will tell you the general public is retarded, and should not be allowed to operate a motor vehicle.. Comcast guy, may not have had the proper sign package to warn motorist ahead of time, however Im sure he's had several close calls in his life (As have I) so his "Meh fuck em all, my safety first" is pretty much the standard...

That's one bucket truck full of dumb from the Comcast guy. He seriously put his own life at risk by being too damn lazy to set the cones farther up the hill.
If you're watching car after car after truck spin/ slide/ wreck all around you....that's a pretty big hint your utility truck could get ass-ended while you're 20' in the air. Yeah, some were traveling too fast for the road conditions......but I got a feeling Comcast legal dept. is going to be working through the holidays on this. |

Comcast may have the right number of cones out, but we're they spread out correctly? I doubt that he had the set up correctly. It's been to many years for me to remember the correct distance. He also should have posted construction ahead sign and lane closed sign.
I do agree drivers were driving to fast for the conditions of the road. It's there fault for crashing. Also who was at fault for the first car? Not comcast. |
