    I would have totally been a witness. I saw Covenant do it....and he didn't even gas it. He just crept to the shoulder. He barely missed getting hit

    Probably an automatic too which limits momentum when wheel slip starts. Clown got what he deserved.

    Years ago I saw an oversize load with an RGN try to do a u turn in the median on Interstate 10 in Louisiana.Needless to say he got hung up about halfway through and had the westbound side blocked for miles.

    Peculiar MO, a couple of years back now. Long delays. Bright sunny day. What non locals didn’t realize was the amount of rain in the past week.

    Multiple pick ups and hot shots tried to get to the frontage road through the grass . . .

    Nothing more amusing than watching a vehicle sink lower in the mud at full RPM . . . :)
     
    Lepton1, hagarcobra and bryan21384 Thank this.

    With ELDs and shippers and and receivers treating drivers the way they do if you don't make your appointments. People are getting desperate not to be late

    Bro they aren't getting desperate. Just stupid. Elds to me is not an excuse to miss appts. Traffic jams yes, but drivers should be on the horn immediately when adverse conditions occur. You still have the same amount of time to drive like before. Before one picks up a load, they should know if it's possible to make that delivery. I mean they give two days sometimes to run a load that's 650 miles. If you have a generous window, it's no reason not to overnight it
     
    Just passing by Thanks this.

    I've seen it before, a couple times an idiot crap driver would use the turnarounds for cops to use, and cause a hell of an accident. No one is supposed to use them because they are dangerous with vehicles flying in the left lane. So maybe instead of a ticket, the driver should lose their license because of that crap.
