Nearly hit a bunch of rubber left behind from an 18 wheeler this morning. I'm curious, are they responsible for the crap they leave behind on our highways? Do any of you drivers here realize you're even doing this? When one of your tires fly apart are you oblivious to the danger you've left behind? Kinda pisses me off I can get fined for tossing a gum wrapper out, but you can keep on trucking after littering the road with 40 pounds of rubber.

yes...on aware.

Take a good look at the cars who MUST ride close behind a truck...most sickening.

They are asking for trouble.


Tire(cap) comes off by accident, and it would be safer if we didn't use caps.

Rule number ONE, dont follow the truck.

Rule number two the cap on the Hyw. is incidental and will at times make contact, follow instructions from rule ONE.

ALSO also also...sometimes the wheels come off and make contact with the head.:) hope this helps. Keep the rubber side down, also.;)
