    You didn't do it anyway; it was already flattened. You were stopping anyway because of traffic.

    So are mail boxes; I didn't hit a mailbox and crush it one time.
    That hedgerow at the shopping mall in Nashville looked better in the street anyway. Don't stop like a good samaritan, just keep gassin' on it.

    I got a mailbox once in a cul-de-sac. No more driving around with trailer axles slid all the way up.

    I hit a stop sign the first trip out with my new trailer. They had a pile up on the big road and diverted us off on a narrow road. I heard it for sure when I slapped it

    I don't have the radio on or anything, so I do think I would have heard something.

    When I first started I had to deliver a load of OSB into a golf course where trucks had no business being. I got in and unloaded fine. Going back out I was front end on the grass watching not to hit the fancy decorations in the median with my tridem. I completely missed the less than waist high light stanchion going under my steer tire. Called the boss said "Hey I ####ed up....." Don't worry about it give them our info take pictures he said. I heard nothing more about it. Things happen. It's not the end of the world and my record is still clean.
