Idiots on the road...

[Tin Diesel]

I couldn't resist posting these photos, even though they're not Airstream or trailer related. My wife consults for an oil-field safety consulting company in Houston, and one of their employees sent these in.

I think the driver needed a 'wide-load' permit!

The problem is, it may be an innocent pedestrian or other motorist that gets decapitated by this FM.

Brilliant, as they say on CMT, here's your sign.

Where are the police when you need them? I can get pulled over for driving 5mph over the limit, but people like this never seem to get caught. At least I feel smarter now!

As Ron White on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour would say:

I fail to see anything very unusual or surprising in the photo. After all it's a Texas driver.

Here in New Mexico we know how to drive more good and would never forget the bungee cord.

[mrmossyone]

Why didn't the driver and passenger just hold it next to the car with arms out the window like us smart fellers do?

This should be one of those posts that start out with "Don't try this at home......"

Thanks for sharing!

He’s obviously not from Southern California....he’d be in the fast lane!!

[campernut64]

I'm afraid you've all missed the real point of the picture. It's a non OSHA approved ladder made of aluminum that the driver used too close to electric lines.......Worst of all it's not polished to an Airstream shine.

Bungee cord? Isn't that what y'all in Neu Mexico use to jump off bridges with? Heck, we know how to use 'em here in Texas... Keep the bumpers from falling off... sho'nuff!

Besides the bumpers I see a lot of Texas cars with skis bungeed on their way to ski New Mexico. Once in a ski slope bathroom I saw this bit of wisdom on the wall "if God meant for Texans to ski he would have made Bull@#$% white". Austin excepted of course. Anyplace that has a program like Austin City Limits can't be all bad.

Now now, look at that car...it might have Texas plates but obviously a transplant from another state...most self respecting Texans drive pickups
Oh wait, I am a Texas transplant...but I drive a truck

Yep, definitely not a texas native. Car doesn't have fifteen different stickers on the back that say 'Don't mess with Texas.'

This is where a cell phone comes in handy. I have relied on my cell to contact the state police for a variety of safety issues I've seen on the highway (i.e., kids doing 360's in the median strip, people walking in the median strip, items in the middle of the highway).

Sometimes that works. I followed a drunk driver for nearly 30 miles one night after I had called. He ran off the road several times, even causing damage to a guard rail and a speed limit sign. They never stopped the guy.

I agree. At least the HyPo's would probably have a few spare bungee cords to tie it all down with...
