    I like the new strip design
    Glad you were able to stay in control with the steer tire. Any chance it has the company name on the strap. Tell them their lazy driver who didn't pad his strap right owes you 2 steer tires

    You "popped a steer" from a strap and hook coming right through your tire? Wow. Did you not see it it the road?

    Part of the difficulties of night driving. Make sure your headlights are aimed properly and you aren't driving beyond their range.

    Glad you are OK! Debris in the roadway is the cause of so many serious crashes. Most of the crap on the roads around here, are off of contractor's trucks or trailers. I mean these clowns are so dumb they honestly don't understand that an unsecured wheelbarrow or a ladder are likely to kill someone.
