Popular Post Red Horse Posted April 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2017 Well last two days have had all kinds of coverage of some A-hole driving a five axle covered wagon with a car hooked up on his trailer. Cars are passing him, blowing horns etc-finally someone pulls in front of this jerk and forces him to stop-says he "never saw the car" which is clearly hanging off the ass end of the trailer. Sad part is .."no charges". Unbelievable- talk about "operating under the influence". How else can you explain this. Cops must have been equally..." under the influence to not charge this idiot with something. Ah- the Smith System of Defensive Driving..."Keep your eyes moving-get the big picture, and know what/who is around you". 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49618-calif-steering-wheel-holder/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyGunner Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Don't forget aim high in steering. What a putz. Everyone makes a mistake but that is far beyond a mistake.

Freightrain Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Ya, it is amazing he went this far without noticing a car hanging off the left side of his trailer, taking up the second lane. Not like it was trailing behind him and not clear in his mirror. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

hatcity Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Although I will agree with your opinion, we don't see what happened 5 minutes BEFORE the video. trailer had to be pulling him sideways some...and look in the mirror once in a while. (what is behind me is in the past) As I said, what did the 4 wheeler do to get in that situation?

Popular Post ranchhopper Posted April 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2017 The guy in the car could have been a real p***k and been messing with the driver we get them here all the time and the driver was teaching him a school of hard knocks lesson if that was the case I say "rock on". 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49618-calif-steering-wheel-holder/#findComment-368047 Share on other sites More sharing options...

So IF you believe he looked in his mirror-bad choice-he was putting everyone else on that road in danger. If he did NOT see him -again bad choice- you are in freeway traffic and you are not checking what is coming up along side you? IMO-either on something or just plain dumb! Lets say the four wheeler did something dumb- as I said, how do you justify putting everyone else in jeopardy as sooner or later that car would become disengaged. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49618-calif-steering-wheel-holder/#findComment-368070 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lmackattack Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I saw a cabover push a car sideways thru Hubbards cave on I-94 east bound right thru the Chicago loop. About 4am in the snow. The truck was in the center lane and I was in the far right.The car came flying down the on ramp. Car cut in to early and rolled onto the trucks front bumper. I got on the CB to let the driver know he was pushing a car as he was not showing signs of slowing down. his responce....."yeah.....I saw that...idiot keeps honking at me"....... This guy took him for a ride thru hubbards cave to the I290 interchange about a 1/4 mile away. I pulled over with him and gave him my info as I saw everthing. Never did get a call so I guess he did not get the ticket? some times you just got to remind people how things work in the world.. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49618-calif-steering-wheel-holder/#findComment-368076 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearhead204 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I'm with Ranch hopper on this one ! I think the driver was a little too pissed of when he started "school" for the 4 wheeler and took him a little too far up the road to clam he didn't see him ! I schooled a few in my younger days when driving dump truck around Seattle. I would pinch them against, the guard rail for a few hundred feet when they would merge between the truck and trailer, they would claim that they never saw that "blinking" light on the trailer tongue!

70mackMB Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 l turned one around in Durham NC a long time ago. l was driving a KW COE in the left lane at a merge. She came on from the ramp as l moved to the right. Caught her left rear with my bumper and turned her sideways across in front of me. The first time l saw her was when she came out the left side of the truck going backwards in the left lane. l remember saying " Damn that's pretty neat lady!" with her looking up at me doing 55 mph door to door. l got a $25.00 ticket for Failure to Yield, the local cop was the one that said she was in my blind spot.......

BillyT Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 We've all seen hundreds of stupid things four wheelers do! How about what is the stupidest thing you've seen a "steering wheel holder" do? I'll start off... I'm on 87 S. in upstate New York a dry van passes me in the left lane about 65mph he is running with 4 aluminum budds on the trailer tandem ...not a tire in sight!! Loaded of course!😁 u 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49618-calif-steering-wheel-holder/#findComment-379819 Share on other sites More sharing options...
