However, the massive damage to both vehicles is consistent with a speed that was inappropriate for that 55-MPH section of open highway. 55-MPH isn't "right" for every one of Nature's many conditions! Consider, on Rt. 28N, Wolfeboro has a "Moose Crossing" sign directly after a sign marking an increase to 55-MPH.

A ½-mile down the road, I eased off for slowing traffic ahead. The truck passed in a no-passing lane and hit his brakes in front of me.

On the truck's bumper was this sticker:





One would think they'd practice what they preach.
