Tell me about it.


Looks like a manufacturers defect. Vehicle is prone to rollovers. They should get a laywer.
Gotta hold the big companies responsible for people's stupidity. :facepalm:

I wonder what they told UHaul when they brought it back? I wonder what it looked like when they were all done with it?

I was yelling at the screen watching that video - I'm just amazed at some people's stupidity.....
Probably that they tried to go thru a car wash.

No, not a manufactures' defect, just defective tires. (Those who know, know)

Yeah, it was meant as sarcasm.
The point is many would rather blame someone else for their stupidity rather than saying they screwed up.
I've done plenty of stupid things and not followed instructions or common sense, sometime even getting injured. Fortunately not seriously and not causing anyone else any harm but that is my fault and I don't try to blame others.
Live and learn. Or not.

Take another look at the video. It wasn't defective tires.

People always wants to get around the big slow moving truck. (I'm a truck driver and I see this a lot.) At the same time, that guy was going to miss his exit.

What you don't see is a big SUV on the other side of the big truck. When the small car moved over several lanes in front of the truck, the SUV driver tried to avoid the car, or the car hit the back end of the SUV causing him to lose control. That accident would have never happen if it wasn't for his impatience. Never cut across several lanes to take an exit. Especially in front of a big truck.

Hi KJ,

Seems to be quite common in this day and age "Failure to take responsibility for their own actions".

best,
Phil
