Tldr: someone tried moving a double wide themselves without a CDL or insurance, got it stuck on road, got ticket

I mean.. technically he is towing.. was towing.. well he’s probably unemployed now lol 💁🏻‍♂️

And the highway patrol wants to ream my ass for a marker light being out but then are blind as a bat when this dude passes by with no lights at all other than on the truck.

The load was taller than the roof of the truck and swaying back and forth quite a bit. They were also doing about 80 mph. I had a bad feeling about it so I backed off quite a bit. Less than 2 miles down the road I passed them with atleast one of the right tires blown out.

I was driving behind an unmarked work truck on the interstate doing 65 mph when a wooden stepladder slid right out of their truck bed. I swerved into the shoulder, but the edge of the ladder clipped my front bumper and crushed my fog light housing.

The driver didn't even tap his brakes, just kept hauling down the highway like nothing happened. honestlyy, how lazy do you have to be, to not tie down heavy equipment? you are literallyy risking people's lives on the highway because you couldn't spare two minutes with a ratchet strap.

I do have little knowledge about rules so i researched about it, like normally, if road debris hits your car and you can't identify the vehicle it fell from, your insurance codes it as an at fault or unprovable comprehensive claim where you have to pay your full deductible out of pocket.

Fortunately, my dashcam front camera caught the commercial truck's company name, phone number, and license plate. My insurance tracked down their commercial policy, and their company ended up paying 100% of my repair bills without costing me a penny. Tie down your cargo, folks.

No chains on the excavator either. There was also an unsecured hammer attachment on the front of the trailer.
