It takes all kinds to fill the freeways.
« on: May 17, 2016 - 06:44:49 PM »
As seen on I-96 Westbound between Novi and Wixom, MI. I've seen these come off several times, causes quite a bit of damage.

I always like when they have an arm out the window thinking that it will hold down the mattress.

I have a fairly long commute to work on the freeway and see lots of stupid along the way.
About 6 months ago there was a boat sitting in the fast lane. All by itself. No trailer or tow vehicle in site. Dont know the sizes or lengths but it was not a small one either.
Removing the warning labels one at a time.
Nature will take care of the rest.

I passed a woman on a two lane road, frequented by a lot of 18 wheelers , who was knitting while driving.
I looked at her shocked and she put it down quickly.

I have a brother in NC, might have been him, he once had a driveshaft fall out turning into a Wendys, had a car roll down the street into a telephone pole , I remember him driving us to school just using his knees to steer, got tickets driving wrong way on one way street, , yep, could be his car.
