How many times have you seen improperly loaded stuff on trucks and roof racks?

No doubt, what's the worst that could happen really?

There was a time you could do that and not really cause a problem. But not today with the number of cars/people on the road. I'd bet he thought he was okay because he wedged everything in good and tight. Yet texting drivers get off scott free. Well until they crash anyway.

Hmm.. unsure if I'm upset or impressed.....

Looks like he knew how to tie a trucker's hitch at least.

I had to watch with the sound off, did they give a name? I notice they didn't show the driver, which is what they do in my area when the offender is of a "minority" persuasion. I ask only because this sort of thing is common in many underdeveloped countries, so when I see it I tend to think ...recent immigrant to our country. And before anyone throws "racist" my way for thinking that way, understand that is about culture not race.

Looked like every piece was secured by a line or a bungie.

The other day was on the Radio hollering at another trucker pulling out of a truck-stop with about a dozen of the reserved parking post tied to the back of his truck. He pissed someone off.

The most common thing I still see and we all have seen, is the mattress tied to the roof rack of a car or truck with what looks like a shoelace and all 4 windows will have an arm sticking out holding on to it.

Reminds me of the time I was on my Honda 350 Many, Many years ago and Noticed the car at a Distance in front of me with a Screen Door Tied to the Roof with the Proverbial Shoe String.
Saw that it could pose a threat to my life as it was Waving in the wind.
Mind you this was at a time when No Helmets were Required by Law. Of course I had None protecting my Mellon.
Sure as Anticipated the Darn thing came A Loose as I Neared the Car.
It jumped up about 20' and Began to Wobble in the Wind.
Nothing I could do but Kiss the Gas Tank and Hope for the Best!
Missed me by that much..... Still Alive to tell the Tale.

Swift driver?

That's one of the times I hit the Dollar Mark on the Super Slab to stay ahead of one like that ..

Looks like what I see in Indiana.

The road is a scary place. Last summer I was riding through a local college town followed closely by a large 18 wheeler in heavy traffic. There was a very attractive coed walking down the sidewalk, dressed for - ahem - the weather, and the guy kept nearly gooshing me into the pavement for all the attention he was paying to her progress down the sidewalk. I'm not sure whose eyes were bugging out more, his or mine, but for very different reasons.

I love living in a college town, but watching coeds is like watching MotoGP — I'm just a spectator.

Right, and its fun to watch rather than (try to) participate for the same reason I love being married! I can try to convince myself that I'd be up to my knees in it if it weren't for the fact that I'm married.

There's a song about trying to love two women too and ball and chain. But just one can be like a ball and chain if the wrong one.:surprise::wink2::crying::smile::angel:

Typical A-hole drivers not giving a rats-ass about anyone else but their self and getting the load to where they want . . .Maybe Karma will deal with them.
