Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

[ultrarunner]

I asked a friend that works as a CalTrans engineer whats with all the new lane stripping and signal lights with yellow borders added to the shroud… he said it’s to enhance the ability to detect for motorists and self driving…

I said what about all the bike lane striping and trafficators going in especially in areas where bikes are never seen and likewise it’s to establish visible demarcation…

These retroreflective bordered backplates – yellow reflective strips placed around the perimeter of traffic signals – increase traffic signal visibility during morning hours, at night, or during a loss of power.

LOVE to hear the story behind that one.
I bet those pictures are minutes apart.

I know it is easier to drive forwards onto a trailer but the weight of most cars and especially unladen trucks is at the front. Trailers need to be properly balanced and tongue weight has to be kept in the 10-15% area. Gooseneck and 5th wheel can have higher at 15-30% but the tow vehicle needs to be able to also take that weight.

Thanks Captain Obvious. But obviously we are dealing with dumb asses. Obvious does not apply... nor logic, intelligence, safety of others...

I wanna know how they got it in there without destroying the tailgate...

Some of these are so obviously generated by Photoshop or similar, that I can't believe they're even up for discussion. These aren't real photos, folks.

Even if those particular photos are fake, people really do that kind of thing.

I also have seen things that make me believe some of these are true. The only problem with that last set of photos are the guy should have aired that tire up while getting gas.
