Idiots in Chitown

[MrZappo]

Sometimes you see something so effing stupid that you just have to laugh ... This is one of those things ... Idiots of the highest caliber soon to get a darwin award I would think ...

This was on the INTERSTATE (Specifically I55) southwest of Chicago and was done at highway speeds ...

A scrap truck with a full load that did not have a tarp and the scrappers decided to risk life and limb as opposed to buying a tarp ..

These shots were taken from my car and I just had to share ...

Just getting up to speed ...

Taking full advantage of the built in safety features of the Chevy S10 including the (slip proof) tailgate ... Note the safety vest ... Hope it is made of kevlar ...

Following strict OSHA protocols, the driver is in the right lane and hugging the wall for safety . Fully complying with local ordinances as well ...

Haha...Remember, those guys are allowed to breed and vote! Yay us!

So does the distracted driver taking the pics instead of paying attention to the task at hand. Just sayin'....

I don't see anything unusual about this at all. If I didn't see something like this about once per week I'd be wondering where all the geniuses went.

That's not a Land of Lincoln license tag .... looks like .... California? Actually heartwarming to realize I am not the stupidest guy on the planet.

Lard geezuz! Them bye's must be practisin' fer the Newfie Olympics.

If only I lived in a country where this was legal. I'm not saying it's smart, just that there shouldn't be any laws against it.

BTW, those aren't Kali plates.

Nope Illinois truck plates.

Looks like the same one that threw a lawn chair at me couple of months ago.

[0Face]

So, I started a new scrap business....

Mark...were those your movers, bringing yer stuff down to SC?

Now THAT's funny!

 

[wheatonFJR]

Mark...were those your movers, bringing yer stuff down to SC?

Are you kidding?

We couldn't afford those guys! There are three guys to pay....assuming someone is driving that truck.

EDIT: BTW, By the thread title, I assumed this thread was about Marty...I see he hasn't made the papers yet...nor the wanted posters.

Looks like a few stolen Cats in there too.

Send the pics to IL highway patrol for a 'tarp violation'.

Thanks for the reminder to 'stay the hell away from trucks'!!!!
