Ship Wreck Ranch - Ice Truckers

This video demonstrates why it is a safety issue for a semi-truck driver to maintain the minimum state law of 40 mph during unsafe road conditions in states like Colorado. For someone to formulate an opinion that 50 miles per hour is unsafe, there is a video of a Colorado state trooper doing 60 to 65 in icy road conditions I70 in Colorado. Suppose this state trooper was to come to a stop or abruptly drop below the minimum legal speed limit of 40 mph. He could cause a life threatening accident and display of negligence in the fact that he is responsible for the decision he made to drive in these adverse conditions.
