Must remove the hitch?

[HHR]

just thought about it....must be why the phone company puts out a cone behind their vehicle when they park, to keep the lazy people that aren't looking where they are going from walking intot he back of their vehicle...

All the phone company trucks in my area put a cone behind and in front of their trucks. I was told that they do this so they always have to check the area around the vehicle before they leave.

They probably got sued from someone hitting their shin on a ball mount and the lawyers told them this was a good idea.

What happens now if I trip and fall over the cone? I think all cones should have a early detection system that visually and audibly alerts someone before tripping. Just another example of how natural selection doesn't apply to humans. My offspring has already adapted to maneuvering around ball mounts is just one generation. Must have a good gene pool I guess.

I think I'll have big magnetic signs made for the sides of my truck, with arrows pointing towards the bumper area. "WARNING! BIG METAL GREASE COVERED THING AHEAD!"

if they can't see the drawbar, they aren't looking.. thus won't see the sign.. that's the big issue.. they aren't paying attention... they are walking into stationary objects that occupied the space before they did.

in traffic laws when you hit a stopped vehicle you are at fault. not the stopped vehicle... that tells you something right there about who's responsibility it is when a moving object hits a stationary object.

Thus the dire need to develop an early warning device to protect the sleep walkers.

I came out of a Dollar store today and saw a parked police van with a hitch platform sticking out about 16" x 36" wide from his hitch. I didn't see anyone run into that even though there weren't any cones around it.
