I witnessed the greatest act of stupidity I've ever seen

"There are two things that are infinite: the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe."
- Albert Einstein

 

that may have been the first time YOU saw that, but before i retired, i must have seen that happen over a dozen times.

stupid, ignorant, dumb, careless co-called steering wheel holders, much less truck drivers, don't know how to use an exit for a turn around.

some pretty gory accidents just in my state, with cars flying on the highways, crashing into those morons.

last one here that i recall was Smith's Transport.

driver of the car actually bent his brake pedal, trying to stop.

and before ANYONE says the car driver should not have been speeding..??

he was LEGALLY on the highway...the trucker was cutting across, ILLEGALLY.....

 

I’ve seen this twice in the last few years. Last time, I almost stopped to tell the Driver to Lock in his axles. He could have easily gotten unstuck. Decided not to help him. Any idiot that try’s to turn around on the interstate deserves a ticket.

 

If you don’t have a dashcam :

GET. ONE. NOW !

they are less than $100

I didn’t get one until after I got a ticket for “improper turn “ because I crunched a car that tried to pass me on the right as I was making a right turn.

 

OMG... that's soooo unpleasant.

 

You did a fine job, but I’m still interested in knowing what happened with your under trousers. And, did you have an extra pair with you?

Just between you and me (I wouldn’t want this getting out), with all the nuts on the road any more, I carry an extra pair with me every day just in case.

 

Oh, you haven't seen anything yet, I've seen people stop in the interstate cause they gotta make that turn. I saw a guy in CO Wolf Creek pass pull a U turn in the chain area heading westbound cause he didn't want to chain up, didn't know how or had no chains. Sand boxes are notorious for getting stuck while pulling U-turns, saw one try to cross the median on I20 east of pecos and get stuck blocking the only 2 lanes available because of construction.
