I saw some Ag implement with the (Not For Highway Service) tires going up the highway the other day behind a pu, must have been doing 100k!

I had a customer tow a DR field and brush mower like the type you tow behind a atv or garden tractor 35 miles behind their pickup truck to my shop for engine repairs.

Did it need even more repairs when it got there then when he left his house?

Not sure if this has ever been on here.

Go to 4:30. Kind of boring, guy follows it, and skid marks for miles on phone with 911.

You can't cure stupid - RV drags Pickup 6 miles - YouTube

Few things demonstate how stupid ones EGO can be and how foolish it can make you look.

Good thing, he had that curtain on the back of the RV. Wouldn't want to damage the p/u!

^^^^
At least it was raining, or the thing could have caught on fire.

Bet that man has never stopped to ask for directions in his entire life.

No, but I was surprised that the lawnmower tires, and wheels/bearings survived the trip.

I'm arguing that people should be expected to keep their vehicles safe and giving examples of how people don't know or care that they aren't.

Why do the people need to maintain their vehicles since the government is doing the state inspection for them? Isn't that what the inspection is for?

Some people actually see it this way, so maybe if the inspections are done away with they'll do their own inspections?

Note: This is intended to be a sarcastic comment. Personally, I don't think the inspections make much difference, those that will maintain their equipment will do so with or without the required inspection and those that don't won't.

Last week saw neighbors go by on county road with the back of the SUV open towing their trash can down the highway for trash day.. I will never be able to get a photo but they have done it a number of times, I'm guessing those plastic wheels aren't going to hold up very long with that abuse.. dead end, so just local traffic.

My neighbor tows his and another neighbor's cans about 1/2 mile each way down their gravel drive every week. Never witnessed an issue.

Around here the garbage company owns the cans and will replace if they fail so I doubt he's concerned about how long the wheels last.
