That looked jarring. You gotta love the way the guy with the dashcam deftly maneuvers around it & keeps on going.  |

My car is so low running over what looks to be part of the exhaust system would rip the front bumper off my car AND do a bunch of damage underneath.   |

Re: Truck Hits Car Driving Next to It in Rainy Conditions
Hydroplaning. PSA: check the condition of your tires. Make sure you have a safe tread depth, 4/32nds is about time for new tires. It’s said to replace at 2/32nds, but that’s damn near bald and provides very little traction driving in rain, during sudden hard braking, and emergency maneuvers. Also, check the manufacturing date on the sidewall of your tires. Tires degrade over time, not just miles, where the rubber cracks, and becomes hard. If your tires are older than six years from the date of manufacture, not the date of purchase, have them inspected for safety, even if there is still a lot of tread left. There’s a lot riding on your tires, literally. Okay, off my soapbox. |
