What’s stuck on the bottom of the trailer there? It looks like some part of the trailer got ripped off and then stuck underneath. Edit: suddenly I feel like I have a better understanding of my terrible student pilot who’s currently a truck driver.

What do you call those things (and pardon my ignorance) that span the driving axles like a McDonald's arch. Usually with the aero hubcabs.

Local fast foodery has a U-shaped drive-thru. I can't imagine how many thousands of dollars of damage those posts have done.  You can see they've been painted like 50 times and people keep digging through the paint with their bumpers. Some people weren't even loving close to making the turn.

The damage on it is hidden in your photo, but having the vertical posts form bumps on the horizontal bar is great, it's like it's designed to spite anyone lazy enough to bumper-car their way around the turn

Like, whoever got that first chip was nowhere near making the turn and should never be allowed to drive again. I could probably do better blindfolded.

I was at the gas station yesterday and watched a person pull into the lot and drive directly into a bollard. The hit was so straight on that I'd be surprised if she wasn't aiming for it.

Just watched some absolute hero back into 45 degree forward angle parking in 20+ movements over several minutes. It's busy as hell and there's a median divider so I have zero loving idea how they're gonna get back out.

Drove the 40 miles to my parents house to see them and do the gift exchange with them this afternoon and was surprised when there was actual traffic backed up on the freeway. Just stuck to the access road for a while and quickly saw 2 firetrucks, a cop car, an ambulance and a wrecker were around the source of the blockage. Some truck with a camper trailer was on the side of the road, pointed the wrong loving direction. Either it had been driving the wrong direction or somehow spun out/jacknifed on a clear day. No matter what someone, or perhaps several someones, likely needed new pants after that mess.

I was driving home from work this morning and passed a wreck on the freeway where it looked like the only vehicle involved had the front end absolutely destroyed and was facing the wrong way. I dunno how they do it.

On a happier note, I finally convinced my old lady neighbor to let me fix her headlights. Her headlights have been out forever (she uses her fogs and only goes about block to the grocery), but since she almost never drives she hasn't gotten ticketed for it yet. I keep on trying to convince her to please just let me do it, it takes a 10 mil, a screwdriver and like 10 minutes. I have the tools, I'll pay for the new loving bulbs they're like $10. She was just weirdly stubborn about it but she finally relented. A true Christmas miracle.

These people must see one or two internet posts about backing in everywhere, then decide that they're going to be the superior driver, and not think any more about it. In my previous town it was almost always a bro truck or Suburban.

The hit was so straight on that I'd be surprised if she wasn't aiming for it. A friend who works at a servo once had a guy turn into the bollard next to the pump as he was pulling away in his oversize SUV. It scraped all along the side of his car, but he kept on driving until the car was firmly wedged up against it. They then tried to unscrew the bollard from the ground so they could keep driving forward to get out rather than just reversing their car because they didn't want to do any more damage to it. My mate had to go out there and literally stand on the bollard's bolts to stop the idiot from unscrewing the drat thing. The bolts are now all welded into place, so it can't happen again. But goddamn, some people. EDIT: And in case there was any doubt about the kind of idiots they were, they naturally said it was all the company's fault for not having enough room on the forecourt, despite the site literally having interstate trucks fill up from the same bowsers every day.

It’s always a lovely car selfie. Aside from the guy who’s a pilot, but I’m sure you knew because it made its way into the FB comment somehow. My dad is unfortunately one of those types of truck drivers. He loves his F250 even though it’s almost at 200k miles and has ejected several spark plugs by force.
