Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

Your mirror is covering most of it, but I believe it痴 a 5 lug trailer axel. Probably overload as well.

That Kubota is about 3,500 lbs. If it's a double-axle then probably just fine. I'd think so because if it weren't then that tongue load is likely going to be really high! But, yeah, what's that one strap going to do?

While technically he might not be towing something wrong, still it's just wrongView attachment 561227

Maybe it was volume discount day? (startup company- no time or money to paint everything black)

Plus the loader. Plus the possibility of loaded tires.

Not really sure what is wrong with this one, gas cans are outside, strapped down. Much better than inside, not everyone has a truck.

Recall the Ford Pinto? They had a tendency to blow up whenever they got rear-ended because the fuel tanks weren't protected by the vehicle. Dangerous for everybody involved in or near a crash.

I have to get fuel, diesel, reg.,ethanol free gas in 12 containers sometimes and I use a trailer. I know it's dangerous in a crash, but even in bed of pickup it could be very dangerous.

Where are you supposed to transport gas cans? I strap them down in the bed of my truck. I think better than in the cab backseat.

Life is a gamble, each and every day. You make a conscience effort to do things as safely as possible and hope others have the same mindset. You can see from this thread that some folks have "lost" their minds and put the rest of us in danger.

That was one lucky (and alert) guy...

Although, why he hesitated instead of immediately getting behind that truck is beyond me...

Good thing he had on flip flops

I think you're right- If you pin your cursor where he started running from, it looks like it might well have cleared him- but then too it might have been swerved towards him by hitting the gutter- all in all, I think he did OK.
