    I don't find anything funny about that picture. It's sad and scary that people like that are driving around us, our friends and family.

    Very true, Dinomite.
    I thought the photo was laughable, but nothing beyond that, as it is a serious problem.

    Surprised that the canopy didn't move an inch....they must have anticipated stuff like this happening.

    I would like to believe he was merely leaving and chose the wrong way to go......I really want to believe that.

    Got another one. Last night I had to make a u turn in a small bank parking lot and fortunately their drive through canopy and drive up atm left just enough space tm get out. Thank God it was a Sunday night.

    I was in Lebanon Tennessee and I swear to God that the sign directing you to turn onto Us 70 from the bypass was not there and I drove straight onto a 2.5 ton restricted road!
     
    SheepDog and joseph1135 Thank this.

    Western Express : Do you think he was getting the Big Mack meal --or something off the dollar menu. Do fries come with that "Truck Shake".

    I too am laughing, at the picture, not the accident itself. If this is an accurate caption, than I pray that driver is no longer driving anything bigger than a go-kart. My thing is that, I too am amazed at the structure that actually caused a trailer to break in half. I have been through many driver-thru's (unfortunately) and none looked to be that sturdy. Anyone know where this is?
