Dash Cam of the Week: Move over

Truckers and troopers have at least one very important thing in common: When the weather makes the going tough, the tough have to keep going. But, as the clips in this highway patrol edition of the Dash Cam of the Week show, when the roads are bad, professional driving skills are all the more important.

The Minnesota State Patrol recently posted dash view of a tractor-trailer skidding out of control, executing a 180-degree spin and reverse parallel parking on the shoulder of highway—right between two squad cars. Hollywood stuntmen couldn’t pull this off. The MSP used the video remind motorists to move over.

The Kansas Highway Patrol recently sent out a similar message on Facebook, posting a video of a tractor-trailer losing control, crossing the median, and forcing a trooper off the road.

“Please SLOW DOWN and gauge the road mile by mile. Just because it's not icy where you are, does not mean it may not be icy 20 miles down the road. Again, if you don't need to drive please STAY HOME,” the post says. “#BeSafe.”

We couldn’t agree more.
