Never stay behind or next to anything carrying loads that aren't absolutely securely tied down.

GutBomb posted:Why couldn't the caddy just slow down earlier and get back in the proper lane instead of risking lives with only 3 seconds to spare? Sure the bro truck driver was an rear end in a top hat but the caddy driver was a dumb rear end in a top hat. The only thing blocking the caddy in the passing lane was his ego. The caddy tried to slow down, the bro truck slowed down too to match him and keep him in the oncoming lane. It was very deliberate. Edit: Hell, I'm fairly certain the caddy actually stopped, and the truck stopped right next to him, and when he started moving again trying to get back into the right lane the truck followed him. What I don't understand is why he didn't just pull off the road, as there were a couple businesses we passed in this 1/4 mile or so that this was going on, with parking lots on that side of the road. My guess is the old guy was just freaked out and not thinking straight. Disgruntled Bovine fucked around with this message at 23:40 on Jun 18, 2013 |

kastein posted:My dad saw a lovely contractors truck lose a few 5 gallon pails, a spade, and a ladder into i495 while commuting in the mid 90s... no pictures, but he said it was awesome because the spade bounced off the windshield of the marked police cruiser that was right behind the truck. About a year ago I caught a 5 gallon bucket with my hood - flew out of the back of a contractor's pickup. Since it was on a tollway, 911 wouldn't touch it - only state troopers can touch anything on NTTA property. And they wouldn't come out, they just asked if I got a plate, and said I'd need to sue the tollway authority. Even though I had the actual plate too...  One of many reasons that I can't wait to GTFO of Texas.

In Illinois if you're not on the tollway they won't call the DOT service trucks to help out if you're broken down or in a ditch. The state troopers will come by, see if you're physically OK, and then leave.

HCTRA (Harris County) has roadside assistance on all the toll roads and will come out, change flats, gas you up or get you a tow. I'm not sure where NTTA is. I had a 4-Runner kick up a 3' long piece of 4x4 that thankfully hit sideways right at the base of my windshield and starred the whole thing. If it hit end-on it would have come right through. The piece of wood flew up and over the car behind me and the rear end in a top hat didn't even slow down. I was spitting out glass.

This is a perfect example of Texas excess. HP has what? 1500 people in it? I've seen 5 marked Tahoes hanging out in the parking lot together. Alternatively, Quinlan has about the same number of people and recently had a vote on whether or not to add a 4th officer. Park Cities is a 2sqmi speed trap, and they don't even hide that fact. I have a severe hate-on for that part of town. EDIT, tho in their defense that pic was taken on... Mockingbird, right? That street is a giant clusterfuck and if I were a municipality I'd record everything on it just to avoid liability from the driver, but mainly from the sue-happy residents.

It's actually a parking enforcement vehicle.. in UP The cameras are used to verify how long a car has been parked in the same spot - over 2 hours? You just got yourself a ticket... even if you actually left that spot for an hour and came back.

Since we're sharing personal gore photos...  A wheel from a Dodge Ram Super Diesel hitting your windshield at 90 KM/h is always an amusing way to become alert.

I noticed it was UP as I was typing but obviously,  so it's probably Hillcrest and not Mockingbird. Either way both of those towns' revenue streams are basically from traffic tickets. I don't know how many times I've been pulled over for doing less than 5mph over the speed limit.

Windshield pictures made me remember the time I was on a rural gravel road, came over a rise and there was a piece of a tree in the middle of the road from a storm. Bounced off the front of my hood and smacked my windshield directly in front of my face. drat thing held up well.

I screwed up as a younger driver and didn't yield (in the left turn lane) to a Ford Explorer in my 1990 Civic hatchback. Got T-boned, but at least I didn't get a shattered windshield like the rest of you suckers! Replacing a windshield is so expensive, too.

Guys, that's a parking enforcement unit. There was a blurb in the newspaper a while ago mentioning that they're moving to a more automated system - drive down mockingbird or similar and it takes pictures of EVERY car parked, and they write the tickets AFTER the fact - one guy in this car can drive up and down and write a shitload of tickets vs. your old metermaid. Edit: not that this is *good*, but whatever.

It also probably checks to see if the plate/car was reported stolen and flags it for a sworn officer to respond
