But it wasn't a school bus. It was a Comcast truck that intentionally ignored OSHA guidelines. Comcast even released a statement admitting that their techs were in the wrong.

What OSHA guidelines you're talking about? they placed 5 cones like they're supposed to.

My point was that comcast truck could've very well been a school bus with less warning.
You gotta adjust your speed on icy roads in case traffic comes to a complete stop in front of you, having longer stopping distance than on dry roads et al.

A lot of police officers, fire fighters, EMS personelle get hurt in similar scenarios, people driving too fast playing with their phones.

Comcast didn't apologize for what happened, basically said their employees should be respectful and protect people regardless of who's at fault.

Fuck how long does a school bus stop for compared to a comcast truck?

Seriously, don't go chasing waterfalls. Stick to the rivers and the lakes like you're use to.

Which translates to just keep posting half naked chicks for likes cuz the shit you say ain't being appreciated.

Long enough for a moron driving too fast and not paying attention to rear end one.

Maybe we should ask school bus drivers not to stop on icy roads bc it might cause accidents.

Icy road conditions cause accident involving school bus - KOAA.com | Continuous News | Colorado Springs and Pueblo

COLORADO SPRINGS - The icy and slick road conditions on Wednesday afternoon caused a chain reaction accident involving a school bus.
The accident occurred in the 1500 block of Oak Hills Drive in the Rockrimmon area. The Colorado Springs Fire Department said one car slid into another and then that second car hit the school bus.

No one was injured and parents were able to pick up their kids right away. Some of the students were moved to another school bus in a safe area.

The fire department said they called the city to send a sand truck to help add some traction to the roads in the area.

School bus is a horrible analogy. The issue really isnt about following regulations for cones as much as common sense.
They were parked in a blind spot where vehicles in those conditions have little response time, and then he was very rude and inconsiderate. There were vehicles actively crashing/loosing control in the present moment.
Doing the minimum in this scenerio is asinine, the conditions merit more precautions. One cone per 10 miles (as he said) sounds like a dry sunny day with plenty of visibility.

Comcast dude is an effing idiot.

You guys love making excuses, first of all, it's not a blind spot.
Second, how this school bus safely stopped and the morons in cars couldn't? Btw it takes a school bus longer distance to stop than a 3,700lb car.

3rd the speed limit is 40 mph on a good day!
