Oh my! Let's see who can figure out what went wrong here after watching it a few times...

Guess you've not seen his splitter? <img src="http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=474352"/>

That rear axle that slowly trails in at the end of the clip reminds me of something out of a Road Runner cartoon.

Aha! I think that may be it. I was thinking rear trailing axle failure at first, but clearly he was hugging that inside shoulder on the curve and you can hear the skidding of the rear trailer tire as it rides up the concrete...

My thoughts exactly! Funny stuff.

This is why I tell my wife to NEVER drive beside or even slightly behind any vehicles if possible unless passing. Especially large trucks and trailers. Frightening how fast your family in a minivan could be pancaked if you were driving right beside this guy. And you see it out there all the time!!! This should be something covered in drivers education.

From what I saw it looks like a bad place to have been was to his left and just ahead of him.

I ...uh....did take a 'refresher' drivers ed course recently.... and the instructor actually covered traveling close to trucks. He emphatically said to 'stay as far away from them as possible'. I try my best to do that any way but that video is a great reminder of why it's important.

I'm guessing the refresher course had a red and blue application form associated with it? :cop:

No worries. I've used that application form as well. Glad to hear that they are speaking to the large truck issue now. I wish more people would abide by that common sense logic.

Lets say the :cop: suggested the refresher course and the :judge: agreed with him.

Photo Shop!

Photoshop? I bet they just saw the trailer sitting there, threw on the flags/banner & backed up to the trailer for a photo.

Heck, might even just be a pilot car for that haul.

The front bumper flags are blurry but the truck is not.
