car hooked up with DOT bumper))) LOL

"Ima just take this, k, thxs"

Karma for double parking but still driver fault

 

I wanted to laugh when I saw this, but it was too painful. Had a driver make an ill advised, almost illegal U-turn into a parking lot couple of weeks back, hit my wife's car with his DOT bumper, took the back bumper off her car, put a crease in the fender, and cracked a taillight. She was legally parked along the curb and at work when it happened, driver took responsibility for it, didn't have much choice since all 20 employees of the tire store he was delivering to watched him do it.

 

Reminds me of School buses, That over hang can't be ignored attempting to pass when they turn.

 

In mother russia

 

That was fastest cleanest "Hook and Tow" I have ever seen, guy has a career in Re-po for sure!!!

 

You are very correct,
Many forget about over hang when they move the axles forward.

Get really tricky and dangerous in truck stops with wagging trailers all over the place.
Many a truck has been damaged by drivers forgetting where their trailer's rear bumpers ends are.

I try to keep my trailer axles at the rear as much as possible, unless I am in a really spot tight and have no other choice.

 

I've gotten in more trouble with straight trucks than with tt's because of that swing out. Oi!

 

Dag nab it! I should have stopped to take a picture of a classic I saw today on Garth Brooks Drive (OK-92) just north of exit 136 off I-40. Went by it this afternoon.

A truck pulling an apparently empty dry van was making a right turn onto Andrew Drive and a 4-wheeler tried the bone headed move of trying to cut inside him. When we passed the scene the car was pinned between the tall curb and the middle of the van, tilted up at about a 45º angle, which in turned had the trailer tandems of the truck up in the air.
