Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

My first thought was "some people are going to freak out", the first time they see a Tow Plow deploy.

My second thought "fortunately, many drivers today will be to busy texting to notice".

Yes, the rope needs to be WAY longer, so you can really get the saucer whipping in turns. We may have been older though......

Yes according to OSHAs rule, Chapter 5, Article 11, Paragraph 3.

Please refrain from further fun until each subject is seatbelted in and airbags are installed.

Not unlike a lot of TBN'ers, I have a thing for interesting mechanical designs. So, I like it from that standpoint, for sure.

OTOH, I can see a few human factors being a problem.

They've been testing in parts of northern Ontario. Buddy 'o mine was telling me today that they've started a petition against these up nord..... seems people have already been pushed off the road by the trailer.

I tend to look at this differently. Think about it, a snow plow in the left lane during snow conditions. People are pushed off the road because they are trying to pass a snow plow on the right? Seems like people that are having this problem need to be permanently parked in the snow bank.

Sometimes, you just can't fix dumb.

I had stopped following the thread for a few weeks, but heard a good one.

Judge rules probable cause for police to seize $200k from NFL player

NFL football player, hauling ~1 pound of weed in a $67,000 brand new 4x4 diesel crew cab, dually, big horn ram; along with $200,000 cash. I actually was standing next to the chief of police for city of Starke when he got the news that the judge found probable cause for police department to keep the truck, and the cash. The truck literally had 1,100 miles on it. Makes you smile a bit.

Everyone knows you move that kind of weight in an ex-police Crown Vic, with 24's, and blacked out windows.

Many people make stupid choices. He's on the news because he happens to play in the NFL....... should have just stuck with the 'roids.
