Must remove the hitch?

   / Must remove the hitch? #72  
Can people really not walk an extra 2 feet from a truck? Common sense is disapearing from the population at a scary rate.

Apparently that's what it looks like judging by the # of nanny posts.

Usually hitch gets hit because they are taking inventory on what's in your truck bed.
This is for:
A. Being nosy
B. Looking to steal
C. Making sure you have an adequate amount of things in your bed to justify owning a diesel pickup so they can judge you.

Or walking between the truck and the vehicle behind it in a parking lot at work or store.

Trip Over Trailer Hitch Ends Heart Surgeon's Career -- $3.96 Million Michigan Award

Plaintiff, a 54-year-old heart surgeon, tripped over the tongue of a trailer hitch while carrying a bulk package of paper towels in the parking lot of a Sam's Club. He suffered a spinal injury, which caused his hands to shake continually. The accident ended his career.

Plaintiff alleged that Sam's Club should have marked the trailer hitch with a cone.

The jury returned a $5.28 million verdict, but reduced the award by 25 percent for comparative negligence.

tripped over the tongue of a trailer hitch...

...should have marked the trailer hitch with a cone.

Sounds like he tripped over a trailer tongue, not a tow hitch on a motor vehicle.

By what rationale does the state make me tie a red flag on the lumber that sticks 5' out the back of my pickup?
If somebody is stupid enough to run into it...
