It's getting crazy on the interstate.. In the last two weeks I have witnessed at least a dozen different items falling off of or out of the back of trucks and 18 wheelers. I am deathly afraid that something is going to come smashing through my windshield and kill my daughter in the back seat. To make it even scarier you have the 18 wheelers behind you that have to slam on their brakes to avoid hitting you because you had to slam on your brakes to avoid the falling objects... it's all just a massive cotastriphy waiting to happen. Last week a Bobcat (tractor) fell off of the back of a trailer, flew into the opposite lane and crashed head on into a car. Suprisingly the guy survived with minor injuries but he could have been killed. I wish that the police would patrol the interstate here more then they do now and I WISH that they would pull over those people with the loose cargo and fine them. The city needs the money to widen the roads due to the influx of people post-Katrina... well there's the money, right there on the interstate!!! Thanks for letting me vent now I'm off to the grocery and unfortunately I have to take the interstate... wish me luck!!! |
OH MY! Keep safe!!!! :hug: I don't like to drive on the Freeway, It's nuts out there. Most of my driving is in town. I could take the Freeway to the kids school, but I don't, I use the back roads, I don't care how much gas I could save, I'd rather save our lives! :2hearts2: |
Good Lord! That's scary!!!! Be careful driving out there! |
Please be very vigilent of traffic! It's so dangerous with all the trucks on the road! |
Oh wow that is so scary! We had that case that happened to that woman here in WA state two years ago where she ended up paralyzed for life. Be safe!! |
You need to be careful out there! I hate driving on any kind of interstate or freeway! The big trucks scare me! |
Oh gosh!! I have a little Miata, and when have the top down and I am on I-40 in NC with 18 wheelers on either side of me, it's more than a little freaky!! My daughter closes her eyes until they pass or I do!! :D Everyone be CAREFUL out there!!!! :( |
Holy Cow! Drive Safe. I drive on our freeway 3 times a week and i have yet to see something fall out of a vehicle-hope i never do! |
Wow, I sure am glad I don't have to drive on an interstate on a regular basis. I travel about 2 hours total a day - to and from work - and the roads I travel are pretty much rural roads (but not too rural - they are 70 MPH) but sometimes they can get a little scary because of hydroplaning (from the ruts made by all the big farm equipment) and just big ol' tractors and stuff. I honestly could not do the big highway driving though. |
I couldnt imagine seeing a bobcat fall off of a semi! WOW!! Im always soo scared when I pass logging trucks, tho! |
