Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

Be careful criticizing that pic, it seems there are a lot of fans of idiot drivers on this thread!

I missed the end of this, how many people did he kill?

Be sure to count the possible offspring and their projected offspring in the death count. And what they have contributed to humanity.

I understand the projected offspring count. Not real sure about the contribution possibility to humanity

And back to the regular presentation of those in humanity to beware of.....

Broke a long standing rule of mine and loaned out a trailor and got this back. As expected the guy had no idea how he loaded so much for the crack to happen. It’s kind of in line with the jack.

Also, I don't think the cord was plugged in, so no lights or brakes. A half mile in the direction he was coming from the road tee'd into a US highway, and a half mile in the direction he was going the road turned into a back country road (likely 55 mph). It was in the middle of nowhere, so he had low population density on his side. The town where I saw this was small and unincorporated. I only saw him go slow through town.

LOL! The "10 tons" sign, is abs-o-lute perfection in this photo!

I never loan vehicles trailers or tractors except to my brother. And he knows how to use them properly.

I never borrow things, because they always seem to end up like that in his picture.

And sometimes they were already damaged and you didn't notice it.

Those cracks don't really have to do with the jack even though they are lined up with it... it all has to do with the stress concentration at the end of the weld on the tongue, the cracks on both sides line up with the end of the welds... It sucks but if you have a welder not a big deal, it looks like it's been around the block for a while, it happens... At least he obviously had tongue weight so you still have a trailer and neighbor! trailer sway sucks and can get bad... I've literally been towing, couldn't move the load forward and bought tongue weight...

That's very true. I've learned that if I'm going to fix or replace something, I prefer to do it to my own equipment.
