Close call for semi truck driver in Michigan snow storm on 1/29/19

M-6 is also known as the Paul B. Henry Highway. It skirts around Grand Rapids so folks can avoid I-196 downtown & US-131 which is a nightmare.

1. Been on that road a lot this year.

Great way to miss those big curve, traffic and construction on 131.

This is the DU member formerly known as safeinOhio.

2. Looks to me that the car passing the truck

was driving way too fast--not accommodating at all for the conditions.

Am I fair in calling that driver an idiot?

The trucker, on the other hand, seemed amazingly cool. I would have been screaming my head off during a near-crash like that.
