    How could people be so stupid at to work in multi-car teams to generate wrecks with trucks, in order to create lawsuits?

    That really happens. A lot less now than before dash cams.

    People can do remarkably stupid and irrational thinks if they somehow have the idea that it can get them money or fame.

    We were taught not to tattle tale before I even started school. If I see someone I think is going to shoot up the place I will say something, but slap someone, nah.
    In all my travels, I have only felt the need to call in on one trucker, and that was after he had run more than one off the road and I spent a few miles in front of him with flashers, and my Sil behind blinking his high beams, trying too wake him up. It became apparent that something besides sleep was driving when he finally decided to pass me. We went from 35 to 85 and him hitting the grass on both sides.
     
    FlaSwampRat and Farmerbob1 Thank this.

    Both cat fighters decide if they tell the company they were attacked by the dude they aren't fired over the telephone.

    But, it did. People do remarkably stupid things that nobody in their right mind would do.
