Craziest thing you have ever seen driving on the road!

It's the new forum "Stranger Things" plug-in.

 

Yeah... not really. Very strict parameters for that and "truck/rest stop was full/nonexistent" or "I was out of hours but not near any truck/rest stop" don't meet the criteria.

 

I'm very familiar with the adverse driving conditions regulation. My post still stands.

(b) Driving conditions—(1) Adverse driving conditions. Except as provided in paragraph (h)(3) of this section, a driver who encounters adverse driving conditions, as defined in §395.2, and cannot, because of those conditions, safely complete the run within the maximum driving time or duty time during which driving is permitted under §395.3(a) or §395.5(a) may drive and be permitted or required to drive a commercial motor vehicle for not more than two additional hours beyond the maximum allowable hours permitted under §395.3(a) or §395.5(a) to complete that run or to reach a place offering safety for the occupants of the commercial motor vehicle and security for the commercial motor vehicle and its cargo.

§395.1 Scope of rules in this part.


Adverse driving conditions means snow, ice, sleet, fog, or other adverse weather conditions or unusual road or traffic conditions that were not known, or could not reasonably be known, to a driver immediately prior to beginning the duty day or immediately before beginning driving after a qualifying rest break or sleeper berth period, or to a motor carrier immediately prior to dispatching the driver.

Last year i saw a taliban looking fellow driving down interstate 40 with his left bare foot.

 

Just one?

 

Craziest thing for me was when I was westbound on I40 in eastern NM. A truck tire without a rim came bouncing out of the sage desert from the north, bounced across the interstate about an 1/8th of a mile ahead of me, bounced across the median and the eastbound side- missed everyone... and went bouncing off back into the desert southbound and down lmao.
True stuff, I’ll never forget it.

 

I did see a tanker blow one of his duals not too long ago. He blew an inner dual and it blew the outside wheel and tire all the way off and it disappeared rolling east towards the horizon. The driver, in a day cab with clear window, never flinched. When I passed him he was just calmly steering it to the shoulder. Kind of glad I didn't have smellivision though.

 

That's not always funny,,wasted the Jeep.

 

As I watch that, and having seen firsthand what's left of a vehicle afterwards, there's no way in hell I could sit a watch that happen without trying to corral the #### thing!
