Gonna guess 80+ mph winds and mostly empty trucks to do that.

Didn’t Mario teach them anything? You have to pass behind the big penguin.

Is there a jet engine on the other side of the road or is that one spot just especially windy?
AintNoRestForTheWookie
100-110 mph (45-49km) winds on the I-5 in Utah in the US. Happened recently, from what most people are saying.
Damn son, and on what looks like a perfectly clear day.

can't we invent something to maybe not have this happen

You would think even a small-angle attachment on the walls could heavily help.

Shit like this is why I try and avoid driving next to semis at all times

Smart. Tire blow-outs are another reason never to pace a semi.

It's Utah from Tuesday. We got hammered by wind pretty good. The University of Utah had peak gusts of 112 mph.

Yea, i’m on campus there and it was terrifying, category 3 hurricane winds and no power for 2 days :( all my frozen food went bad, it sucks

This is i15 in Utah yesterday. There were multiple semis that flipped through the salt lake valley. Trees uprooted. It’s nuts

I was just gonna ask of this was Utah. I had to drive in it yesterday

Climate change can’t be real though
Not entirely sure. Looks like Utah. Had just seen this: https://mobile.twitter.com/UTHighwayPatrol/status/1303501992237514752

I-15 in Utah, just north of Centerville
brianglass10
It’s a bit windy. There should be a caution sign about that, maybe.
Those were typical wind conditions for the area. After a few tips warnings went out and the trucks were lined up along the road.
sekanna
Pshaw, it was only blowing at up to 100 mph in that area yesterday
Nathanyel
Here's one:
isetprettygirlsonfire
Where I live there is an alternate route on the edge of the valley. Truckers ignore the signs and then this happens. One right in front ofme
ShieldRend
This was in Utah where the whole horizon of mow'ins don't allow for high speed winds often, this was a strange day that did damage all over.

I know this is shopped but hell I wish the signs were actually this clear in the UK.
AFistfulOfDollHairs
There was, but it blew away
LurkerOfDarkness
There should be windbags, I've never seen any in the US.
Greenshield
we have them at trouble spots on I-80 in Nebraska.
So they do exist in the US....
Yup, Nebraska and Wyoming for sure... but those are only the ones I can remember seeing personally
Never saw any on the two times I was in WY, of course I didn't see every road.
Usually something like this.
Undumpable
Can the drivers actually avoid this by going slower or something? Seems like if the wind is strong enough to tip you over, it will.
Isthe4thtimethecharm
Seems like going faster would help more than slower.
DulothX
If you're dumb enough to drive an empty trailer down a wyoming interstate? Pray.
This was Utah yesterday, winds topped out a little over 110mph, kind of out of nowhere
[deleted]
If insurance won't cover repairs make sure your buddy sets up a gofundme , I'm hearing stories of insurance not wanting to cover wind damage
ItsJustACoincidence
According to FMCSA regulation winds exceeding 45mph are no longer safe for driving. It’s the driver’s responsibility to know this.
GreedyJungle
You can avoid this by not driving in 100mph wind while pulling an empty dry van trailer. Go to a truck stop and wait it out.
Huhwhatcrazy
Face into the wind
smallskillerofhambino
Truck driver here. If it's that windy then it's best to pull over. Especially if you're pulling an empty trailer.
dj5897
Right? Surely a lost day is cheaper than a crane???
For sure. Not to mention the impact on your license. That will be listed as a preventable accident. Should have stopped.
alphanius
In Germany, there are signs and a wind flag on spots that focus the wind so it could blow trailers.
So the drivers can stop before entering the passage
iemusic51
Same in Wyoming and some other spots.
Vegonbrei
Couple areas near me like this. Drivers used to wait at the exit before and coordinate on the CB. Empties would run with a loaded truck
beside them in the upwind lane to block for them.

YooperMan21
Well, it's better them be mad for a few minutes then it is for the drivers to risk what the video above shows then half of highway is closed
JokerJeep
I mean if the wind is really blowing hard enough with them being in the open I'm sure they would tip even stopped
IcommentMostlyWithGifs
I tipped then slid. That wind is isn't blowing hard its freaking blowing like a crack whore that needs a fix.
You tipped in a semi while stopped?
It* sorry
I've been on the side of the highway in a semi and you can feel it being moved by the wind
