Why You Should Not Run Stop Signs

[brad519]

Well everyone knows it is not safe to run a stop sign but a lot of people do it any way. Well here is what can happen when you do run a stop sign.

 

This used to be a GM 3500 utility bed truck. Amazingly the driver's worst injury was a broken leg. It took over an hour to get him out of the truck.

 

This is what he pulled out in front of....

Damn, was this in your town?

[gregrocks89]

like there is nothing left of that truck

[brad519]

Damn, was this in your town?

It happened up in the northern part of the county that I work. Out in the country on a state highway. If he would have been a few seconds faster it would not have been pretty.

Oh, so those are your own pics, I see.

[gregrocks89]

So if he would had been a few seconds faster wouldn't he avoid being hit? and if he was slower wouldn't he t-bone it??

[brad519]

Well maybe not a few seconds but a few milliseconds and the semi would have hit the driver door straight on instead of hitting the front fender. Either way he was/is one lucky SOB, stupid but lucky

[gregrocks89]

Yeah he is a lucky sob

First off glad he is okay. But a little elbow grease and that should buff right out

I was in Brandon, MS on Sunday. We had a flat tire on the boat trailer coming up on exit 59 on I-20 West bound, and stopped on the exit ramp and changed the tire. I didn't have any hand cleaner with me, so I had to drive into Brandon to find somewhere to wash up. Ended up at the Shell station just across from the Law enforcement center.

 

I think that I-20 would be a great place to spend some of those stimulus funds. The west bound lanes before you get to Brandon are some of the worst I have driven on.
