Yes, kinda harsh, especially when you don't know the circumstances.

Must be Texas don't know what road salt is.

Friend was working in DFW for a while, one icy morning he comes up to an intersection with a police officer spreading salt from a bucket in his trunk.
"Maybe you should spread a little on the approaches too, so people can slow down or stop before they actually get IN the intersection?"
"Get out of here yank, I'm doing this my way."

Some people you just can't reach...

The true mark of a person is how they behave when they know they can get away with being a monster with no immediate personal consequences.

Pretty obvious to me, the circumstances are painfully clear..... Driving too fast for conditions. Newton's law applies.. 'A body in motion tends to stay in motion' until arrested by a sudden stop..... Or should I say 'sodden stop'....

Least the local bump shops will have customers, that and the local metal recyclers.

Well there you go then.

Always love people who can look at a picture and instantly know everything about it. I just love them from a distance because the truth is that although God says to love them it is very hard to love some.

Whatever. Maybe you should run for public office....

Pretty easy to see the cause (black ice) and the effect (everything wadded up) I've seen more than my share of wadded up ones. Last 4 years before I retired I was in Safety and Compliance for the company I drove for. Did a lot of accident investigation and liability mitigation.

Always good to armchair quarterback. You seem to be quite a professional at that.

I pity those for whom you were the investigator because you obviously knew the conclusion before asking the questions and looking at all of the evidence.

Now would be a good time for somebody to post a pic of towing wrong... otherwise I may have to go put a cord of green hardwood on my 2000 lb payload dump trailer, just to get the thread back on track.

This guy was hauling this bucket on the trailer with zero tie downs of any kind.

Throw couple tie down on it, flip it over and you can tow both straight to the junk yard. Gotta love self loading trailers!

THAT'S what I'm talking about!!!
I'm still not sure if that old Dodge was the tower, or being towed on the trailer.

 

[paulfun9]

The white truck off in the parking lot was towing the blue one on the trailer. Look close and you will see chains used to tie it to the trailer.

 

[bcp]

And the heavy end of the blue truck was on the rear of the trailer.

What is that yellow frame, and how is it attached to the trailer? Just wondering. Jon

 

[cqaigy2]

I was trying to figure out that yellow frame thing too.

It looks like a shipping frame. The ones from overseas come in those a lot of the time. Otherwise the round bottom of the bucket would not be stable in the shipping container. I like the ones that come that way as you don't need to secure them in a van trailer. The bucket is bolted in them. Kinda like the shipping frames that TSC rototillers come in.
