You see videos like this and then you head down the highway where you see a diesel pickup towing a 5th wheel travel trailer that is towing a boat and you just have to scratch your head. Just because you have a driver's license and the money to buy all the toys doesn't mean that you know how to pull them. The driver of that Dodge was just lucky to not have been killed!

Cool!

Wish I would've had my camera last night watching this guy parallel parking, backed right into the front of a Super Duty (not mine), I was gonna run down from the skywalk and pretend it was my truck, Like WTH, you just hit my truck, NO NOTE nothing, he walked away..... Told the wife, that's why I parked on the top of the ramp 100' away from anyone.

Looks like somebody forgot to do their homework on the footer construction. He shouldn't have been able to take the whole overhang down. He was sure lucky to walk away.

I got that video in an e-mail @ a month ago and the title said " Why women shouldn't drive diesel trucks" Don't know if it was a man or woman, however.

Same here except I got it from a firefighter in Shawnee and the title was "This must have been a OP firefighter" (I live in OP) then a week later one of the shifts rolled the medact truck on an offramp.
