Road debris
« on: July 21, 2010, 02:16:47 PM »
Please secure your load!

I was flying down hwy 10 in traffic today and someone lost part of their load of cardboard and trash I guess...
A dump truck drove straight over it all and flipped a HUGE piece of heavy cardboard that had been folded up right at me in my bus!
It hit me headon on the passengers side, smashed in my headlight bucket and bent up the chrome ring.
I hit so hard the retaining clips that hold it all together were hanging out of bucket wreckage.

Hopefully I have the parts downstairs to put something together.
Arrgggh!

x100000. Because above mentioned will be an inconvenience to a car, but a sure injury and on a highway most likely death, to somebody on a motorcycle.
