    Are those 6 inch wheels? Are those even DOT approved?

    Also, is the guy supposed to stand inside that thing and serve food? I see the BBQ is pointing in that window

    I agree, one camper is squared around the top edges and the other is rounded around the top edges

    If everything is legit, I highly doubt it was side swiped by a tractor trailer, those guys are out there doing their job, I bet the last thing that they want is to get in a wreck, if they are not rolling they are not making any money, I would guess that if a tractor trailer was involved, the camper side swiped the tractor trailer.

    My wife's uncle was rear ended by a car a few months ago, he was not given a citation of any kind, the cop even said it was the woman's fault that rear ended his big truck, his company put him out of work for a month because of it.

    I realize that you stated or vice versa but so many people are always quick to point the finger at the big trucks, I have seen so many people cut a big truck off, which in my opinion is stupid because there is no way that truck can stop like a car, the same people that cause big trucks to crash are the same idiots that raise hell when their merchandise is out of stock at the store, not realizing that there is a chance that the big truck that they made crash may have been delivering their merchandise to that store.

    You were reading way too much into that, can't blame you since you're not the only one jumping to conclusions. I don't disagree that most truckers are professional and safe at doing their jobs, but I find it rather humorous the kneejerk reactions here are to immediately give truckers the benefit of the doubt but not the Tacoma driver in this case. Let's try to be fair since no one has any real information on this accident other than those 3 photos.

    Personally, I couldn't care less about whose fault is it here. Frankly I just want to know what actually happened.

    So are we blaming the driver, the truck or the conditions from our armchair point of view with no other evidence other than a few pics?

    Pointless thread other than somebody lost their new taco.

    So if I understand the conspiracy theorists correctly....this ONLY happened because it was a Tacoma. Had it been any other type/brand of truck this wouldn't have happened? o_O

    One needs only to Google towing mishaps/accidents to know anything and everything can happen....to anyone, towing anything, with any tow vehicle, at anytime.

    It's illegal to tow in the left lane on a 2 Lane road , if witnesses say he was driving in the left lane for an extended period not just a quick pass he will get cited for that. If he was passing and it was wet conditions and unsafe he could also get cited for that.

    Do they at least enforce that?
    Fuck do I ever wish if the police here would start cracking down on left lane hogs who don't go over 100km.

    I wish they would around where I am.
    Seriously I've seen people doing 80km in the left lane and cops do nothing.
    THey'd sooner pull over someone for doing 110km
