That is the opinion of many truck drivers I have spoken to over the years. Of course, that also comes with its own risk (i.e. debris coming through the windshield and causing injury or death, especially on a class A). I am sure the MH driver did not anticipate damaging his rig, although, unfortunately, it would sustain damage in either case.

Very sad. I would suspect the driver never even looked in the mirror to see what happened to the MH. Respect, care for others, and personal responsibility seems to have faded into antiquity.

Would you have stopped, if you were the other driver - perhaps in your teen years, or driving without a license? None of these are excuses, but this situation demonstrates how far we have fallen, as a “civilized” society.
The driver was probably an otherwise responsible member of society multitasking with a phone.
 
Today I got an automated email from RV Life (formerly Campground Reviews) saying we had a new review. Naturally, I clicked over to see what it said, and I was in for a surprise. It was from the folks who ended up in the ditch.

Their coach had been pulled out a few hours after the accident and towed about a quarter mile up the road to a wide area where it could be left. I actually saw it the next day. There was some damage to the passenger side of the coach, but nothing like what everyone had feared. Turns out the only currently visible mechanical damage was a broken power steering hose, which a mobile tech fixed in a few hours. And off they went!

So, imagine my surprise when I saw they’d left a five-star review about their stay at the park and for how they were treated after their “minor” accident.

I thought it was a genuinely kind gesture that after going through such a nasty event, they still took the time to say something nice about the park. Things like this tend to restore my faith in humanity.
