Thanks everyone for your comments...reason we asked is because we were involved in an accident yesterday....not our fault, and a few hours afterwards the state trooper from the scene of the accident called to tell us that he would be issuing Wayne a ticket for not having a Class B. Since then we have been online and it has become very clear that we should have a Class B license.
We were driving from our home to Pipe Creek to have a few things fixed....first on the list was to replace the inop micro/convection. While en route and traveling 30 mph through Bandera, 11 miles from Pipe Creek, a small pickup traveling in the opposite direction, very quickly crossed the center line, striking us on the left front corner of the bus and scraping the entire length of the drivers side, puncturing the drive axle tire. Wayne immediately pulled over and watched in his side view mirror as the driver continued down the road. After we got outside we could see the pickup on the right shoulder about 1/4 mile down the road.....he had 2 flat tires. He later told the state trooper that he was looking at his cell phone when he crossed the center line.
Thankfully the pickup is owned by a local pool business and they are insured.
A local tire shop came and removed the blown tire and we then slowly traveled the 11 mile distance without that tire.
I can't help to wonder what might have happened if the driver struck a smaller vehicle instead of our bus. It could have been fatal.
So thankful to have been in a Prevost!
As we "speak", Wayne is studying for his Class B.
