Driving Me Crazy

vixweb · 09-15-2007, 06:34 PM

I work accidents EVERYDAY, and every time I think I've seen it all- I see something crazier!

Usually, speed is the main problem. People are FAR too comfortable in these newer vehicles, it takes the "driving" out of driving. You have to remember that your in a 2 ton hunk of metal rolling down the road, that may or may not stop when you want it to. It's funny how "shocked" people seem when their car has a problem, especially when its a Mercedes or something, as if the $100,000 car will not have problems

- I haven't seen a machine yet that WON'T break!

The weirdest thing that ever happened to me was , I was driving up hwy. 167 between Dubach and Bernice. I was on this curvey, uphill part, I was following a pickup that was pulling a trailer that had a new septic tank on it. The chain broke and the septic tank rolled off the trailer and headed right for me. I had to dodge the tank without having a wreck, which was really stressful. After it was over I was a bundle of nerves. When I finally got to work at Bernice, I told my boss what happened. I told my boss if anything happens to me I want him to write: Here she lies run over by a rolling sh** pond on my head stone.

I saw a boat on a trailer going down I-20 once. What was funny was there was no car towing it! it had come loose and went off the road without incident.

I was taking some friends out to a trucking terminal once at Simsboro. Some was in the back of the pickup with my sister and some was up front with me. When I hit I-20 at Ruston, I fell in behind a bull wagon and not thinking hung in on its tail. We could not smell it in the front because the windows was up. By the time I hit Simsboro The ones in the back had tears coming out of their eyes and they had got so hoarse they could hardly talk, whick is good because they sure wanted to say some choice words to me. They were hanging over the side sick too.

My brother-in-law ran over a loose bathtub on the interstate in Houston, Tx. He had a hard time explaining it to the insurance company.
