    Yes the driver was distracted, but once again, reduce the speed limits and save a life !
    Why don’t we have those flashing speed signs that say the speed limit is this and your speed is this. Should be one on hwy 50 before the the South Upper Truckee intersection in Meyers, and the speed limit should be 35.
