Ran over cone on freeway, what to look for

You must have the MT...Ludicrous speed!

 

Cones. Look for cones next time. Best way to avoid hitting them is to look for them.

 

I'd claim accident free miles but I once pooped myself on the ride home after some sketchy tacos.

 

I bet you don’t win a lot of races driving that cautiously.

“If you didn’t win and you didn’t crash, you didn’t go fast enough”
-Me-

 

You sure it wasn't double glazed baby back ribs and red wine?

 

Do I look like a Barnes and Noble manager?

 

Pretty sure the majority here think you’re full of shit.

Didn’t sound like me? Full of sarcasm and calling out someone with outlandish claims?

I teach bull fighting to tourists

 

I do that every Tuesday... can’t stay away from those same tacos!

 

It's not outlandish, it just speaks to a lame life of sitting in a truck for 30 years. The Bandit might have as many miles but his were more exciting.

 

If you poop yourself once a week it might not be the tacos.

 

Oh no, many more times then once a week. It’s just once a week with the tacos.

 

Maybe he meant unreported accidents.

 

Another thread gone to shit.

 

Cones in the road comes to mind!

Ok most soft items do little damage. If you hit it with tire check the wheel well shrouds to see they are in place. If you straddled it climb under and look at exhaust shields and brake lines. Or just drive as usual. Most tacos I’ve met can take being coned down below just fine.

 

I don't really give a shit. I thought the first post was lame as could be. A rubber cone and you wanna know what to check out??? So I told him he should of had time to avoid it and we got here.

How far should you be from the bull before you take off? Can he get like 100' or 1000?

 

Outside sales.

 

Another 3rd gen thread gone to shit. It's actually pretty impressive. Rarely fails.

To any of my TW brothers and sisters who are responsible, safe truck drivers. I fully commend you. Not an easy job to do. And the countless number of idiots who make it tougher is vast. Props and respect to you.

That said....I've commuted 50 miles a day to and from work on one of the busy highways in the nation for nearly 25 years. The amount of unadulterated fuckery I see committed by truck drivers is endless. Passing people on the right, ignoring posted speed limits, cutting people off when changing lanes, failing to signal, driving too fast in inclement weather (rain, fog, snow), tail gating people who are at or even above the speed limit, ignoring lane restrictions, brake checking other drivers, texting while driving, clearly driving fatigued and/or sleepy, flying through construction zones.

The list goes on. I see this nonsense everyday. So it's more than just a few drivers. I've always told my wife that she'll get a phone call from a state trooper someday saying that they dug my body out of the fender well of some truck.

I avoid them like the plague. I have zero respect for irresponsible truck drivers. It's worse now than ever before. They can go fuck themselves

 

Oh I agree, it’s a pretty dumb question considering it’s a rubber cone and you looked but couldn’t find anything.

Take off? All you have to do is spin left or right.. of course if you’re not an ambi-spinner you’ll just have to continue to only spin one direction. Really it’s all about how finely tuned your reflexes are.
