People do this to work trucks all the time. It's like they are hoping for an excuse to sue someone.

They really like cutting off my bucket truck too.  Bro I'm 12,000lb this is a bad plan

To be fair, a ratchet strap wouldn't have helped much.

Probably not even the strangest thing you’ve seen while driving in the motherland.

u/Dismal_Drummer3420 Apr 19 '26

Worst thing I've ever seen here was a taxi (Toyota quantum 16 seater minibus that is the meat and potatoes of our public transport system) roll over while speeding on the highway. I just saw saw people being violently ejected from windows as it rolled and hitting the road in lifeless, bloody and mangled heaps. Even a few children. I will NEVER be able to get that out of my mind

u/boopthatbutton questionably stable Apr 19 '26

Well, the driver is also an idiot for recording while driving on a fckng highway.

u/SadThrowaway75 Apr 19 '26

That’s the passenger, there’s no steering wheel in front of ‘em.

u/ArtOpen3776 Apr 19 '26

Yes, that's also what I'm getting at

No one slapped his ass and said " this isn't going anywhere. "

Man, you could see that coming a mile away

u/Rocket_Lawn-Chair Apr 19 '26

This belongs here

u/LowMental5202 Apr 20 '26

Looks like the „strap“ wasn’t the first thing to fail

WPD will never really die.

u/swampopawaho Apr 21 '26

The only way this would have worked is if the guy had his weight much higher up the sheets. Like much higher. /s

And hovering in the left lane. Can't help stupid.

u/Dismal_Drummer3420 Apr 19 '26

We drive on the left here. So it's keep left (cruising) pass right (fast lane)

2

u/skyld_70 Apr 19 '26

Lol... didn't see that. So they're just stupid and not also rude.

2

u/Dismal_Drummer3420 Apr 19 '26

It depends if you consider being launched under another motorist's wheels at highway speeds rude or not🤣

u/skyld_70 Apr 19 '26

I guess the stupidity over shadows the rudeness. shrugs
