#9 back in the '70s, Dad was driving the family home down the NJ Turnpike when the wheels came off an old truck. The one wheel went off to the right side where a group of young teenagers on bicycles were. Dad drove ahead a stopped to tell a state trooper who was parked, trooper said he had just told those kids to get off the highway. To this day I doubt the kid lived.
Driving a loaner '49 Ford, while our '58 Chevy was in the shop, to school one morning. I see this wheel in front of me going down the hill into the ditch. Guess where it came from? Was late to school that morning.
There I was cruising on a sunny day. Window down, not a care in the world. A semi was slowly passing right outside my window. Just then, a tire blew. Like a cannon in my ear. I eased off the throttle and saw the same tire leave the truck to go wobbling down the road.
#8: My mother waited tables for many a year and once told me that when it came to customer service, the best way to make sure an asshole didn't come back was to dump a plate of food in his lap. She went on to say a bowl of beans worked best.
#9 had a friend killed about 25 years ago the wheel came off and went through her window while driving. Damned near decapitated her. Husband sued trucking company.
I saw a wheel come off a car roll through a busy intersection, go up on to the bank of the road and roll back through the intersection and not touch one vehicle.
#9 I've had that happen a couple of times during my trucking career. Never figured out why they pass you, but they always do. Had a terrible tragedy here in Maine when a set of duals came off and struck a state cop outside the cruiser doing traffic control. Killed him instantly. SP investigated for four years and never did find any reason to charge the driver/owner. I believe they still have the truck in impound. #5 The pig whisperer.
I don't see an issue with #1
ReplyDeleteA scooter is not made to do wheelies. Poor thinking ability as in dumb.

#4, I see someone has learned the difference between parchment paper and wax paper the hard way.

Had the back tire on a ford 8n fall off at pretty much top speed going down a farm road. Hell of a ride.
