    Somebody parked on the shoulder just pulled out in front of 70mph moving traffic. I see it all the time these dumb ####s pull off on the shoulder for non-emergency dumb #### and just pull out in front of moving traffic. Every time you see a truck on the shoulder it's not always because the truck is totally down and can't move to a safer spot. Lots of people think nothing of pulling to the shoulder to do whatever. Would bet money it’s a 3rd worlder from somewhere that a little human decency, traffic courtesy and common sense aren't the norm. Just pull over anywhere it's fine. Then just pull out whenever you feel like it. No need to wait until the coast is clear.

    They don't even bother picking up any speed on the shoulder half the time.

    Oh my goodness. I've never seen anything like that. That cab certainly did ELEVATE.

    It's not the video you were expecting, but it is a video of a guy being dropped after a hard hit in the jaw.

    Customer service with a smile. :cool:
