One more thing to think about while towing
While towing it's easy to forget the trailer is back there, but here is a video to remind everyone what can happen.

Re: One more thing to think about while towing
Note to self; Spindly little brick posts do not have much structural integrity.
Wow, do they not have engineers in that county?

Re: One more thing to think about while towing
I have a friend who would do that ! In fact, when he rented a U-Haul truck he hit a gas station overhang much like that..... luckily it didn't fall though.

Re: One more thing to think about while towing
looks like the insurance company might be paying death benefits instead of repair costs for that one. seems like the cab was pretty well crushed by the roof weight. no air bags will help out for something like that!
if you didn't make it, r.i.p. whoever you are.... amp
