Our journey to our Summer vacation is 200 miles on an interstate at 65 mph. We caravan - 3 cars with 3 trailers and 3 boats.
We adhere to the speed limit because anybody with a brain and and experience knows that trailers are not supposed to go that fast.
One year I was 3rd in line and an idiot passed me at 80 mph and I could see his side wheel and bearing was red hot and wobbling. We all travel with walkie talkies so we can communicate on the trip.
I immediately called the front two cars and screamed at them to slow to 50 and let this guy pass. Two cars ahead he was just passing the lead car. My wife got the message and hit the brakes and went off onto the shoulder, just as the idiot's tire went flying in the air. It missed my wife by only a few feet.
I told her I was going to stop and punch this guy's lights out. She said if I did she was going back home. I agreed to keep my mouth shut and we went on. As I passed him his rig was half way in the ditch.
Many accidents are not accidents, but simple irresponsibility. If I fu***ed up like that I would certainly not air my dirty laundry on the internet.
As you can see careless people tend to get my goat.
