5, how many of these have we seen. They have loud beeping backup alarms on trucks that go off at 5 am to warn any sleep walking children but nothing to tell these morons their dump beds are still up ?
Depending on the install, the factory version will have a red light on the dash and others will have a red light on the control. I know they never do it, however legally the driver is supposed to exit the vehicle and verify the box is lowered and the rear gate is securely latched. I have only seen drivers do that operation when doing their exam.
Wheel got bent from having loose spokes. Under proper tension it won't happen. When they get loose they can't keep the rim in line and under tension, any side play will bend the flimsy rim as well as the spokes. Especially bicycle rims have very little strength side to side unless under in line tension. Try it with an unspoked rim and then try bending one with spokes under tension.
12:26, correct, but inbthis case, idiocy intervened. The rider lifted the rear wheel and kicked it sideways at the goose, coming down with a side load on the wheel, bending it. John in Indy
I had #2 happen to me in a restaurant once, except it was a Coke not a beer. The glass must have had a slight crack around the bottom and when I picked it up to take the first drink the bottom fell off and... sploosh, all over the table and me. Accidents happen, and although I never asked for it, the restaurant comped our meals.
#1 Done that and seen it happen many times in rice paddies. Be walking along in about knee deep water loaded with shit and next thing ya knew you were up to your neck.
#6 - don't know if the same thing happened here, but.....I stopped to help some gals with a flat tire on I-80 a loooonnng time ago. They were strong, independent liberated women and didn't need a man's help. So, I just waited off to the side while they attempted to do something and then go off to the side to have a conference meeting; letting me sneak in and do whatever. Repeat for each step of the way. After getting the fixed tire on their vehicle, they gave some parting insults and went on their way. That was this farm boy's introduction to liberated women.
I had a similar experience except the gals were about 3 sheets to the wind drunk, it was 2 in the morning and they had a flat tire in the fast lane heading down the Wheeling WVA tunnel Westbound. Dumbasses did NOT realize they were in a world of hurt and about to be flattened by an 18 wheeler. I parked my car with the emergency flashers on about 150 feet behind them, jumped out, ran to their car and told them to pop the trunk and stand back. While I was grabbing the spare and the jack, a WVA State Trooper pulled in behind my car with his bubble gum machine lights on, and together we did a "pit-stop tire change". Didn't say a word to one another and the chicks took off without even a "thank you". We probably saved their lives.
#3 Karma's a bitch...
ReplyDeleteA whole of of stupid going on in this batch!

That's what mirrors are for.
DeleteBut if you don't use them, you can't see your bed is up.
Plus as a Class A driver- you should be able to feel your vehicle acting different.
But there are a lot of steering wheel holders out there.
#2 T-delta?
ReplyDelete#9 Is why I'm usually afraid to touch or use ANYTHING. I've seen it happen too many times where something just falls apart from normal use.

Dog not putting up with that shit. Good dog.
ReplyDeleteThose teeth are showing for a reason.
Delete#3 I don't understand how that wheel got bent.
ReplyDeleteThat makes two of us...

The newer alloy ones are even more fragile than the old steel ones.

Delete#1 - Funny thing about puddles: They're all flat on the top.
ReplyDelete#3 is really liberalish. Goose could have been really hurt by that prank. Serves the liberal right.
