So this was on I-80 yesterday going across WY. Stevens Thought he would just make a U-turn right on the interstate. Got stuck hahaha. Lucky no one got hurt.
Also if anyone has any info on the white truck pulling a skateboard with some military vehicles on it that crossed the median and dang near got me yesterday.
the pucker factor was about 30 on a scale of 1-10. He kept it upright but was wondering if he was ok.

Are you sure he didn't slide into that position?...To try and cross where there isn't even a FLAT cop-spot is beyond comprehension....BTW, I-80 west of WY is closed right now, conditions didn't improve obviously...
-
Nope heard them yelling on the cb that some dummy in a stevens truck tried to do a U-turn and about 6 truck dang near hit him. about an hour later I found him. What you see in that picture is what I drove on all yesterday. Well from Rock Springs till The cornhusker state It was about like what you see in that picture. But donners and NV and UT were clear as can be when I went though

Unreal, like I said, that's beyond my comprehension as I wouldn't even try that in a 4 wheeler, too many places you can safely do it, although illegally, where the coppers sit...I hope he was close to home so he doesn't have a long bus ride when he gets his pink slip...

I just got one question. When are you going to adjust that drivers side spot mirror so it is useful?
Even the pic in your sig it gives you the same view as looking out the window....
rocknroll nik and punkinhed Thank this. -
I got it adjusted to see around blind corner before I stick my nose to far out. I like to be sneaky lol.

i still don't think they were doing a u turn i think they slid their and proply dirtyed their drawers.... either way not good people need to slow down...

That wasn't no Uturn. The trailer is too straight. You'd have to be awfully dumb to even try a Uturn in an emergency turn around, let alone on grass and snow. Look between the two trailers. You would see swing tracks. Looks like he lost it and then tried to get away afterwards. You can't believe everything you here on the CB. One says something and before you know it, it made it's way all the way across the state. BS doesn't walk like they say, it flies!
NWMAXI, kw195743545, rocknroll nik and 1 other person Thank this. -
either way he was stuck like chuck. And I am still trying to get my huggies out of my butt after that flatbedder jumped the ditch and came right at me. But he blew a steer tire I saw that much as he came flying down the side of the ditch and up on my side. One of those slow motion OOOOOOOOO crap moments.
-
Yeah, I know the feeling. I was coming across west TX one morning on I-10. They have the wide medians there. A seen a bull hauler off in the distance. As he got closer he come flying across the median right at me. Dust was flying everywhere and I yelled on the CB for the driver to wake up. I was about to take advasive action when he come to a quick stop. As I passed, the Mexican turned behind me and headed out in the desert on some unseen trail. Not a building in sight. He thought it was funny, but I didn't.
