Road Debris: Gotta Be Some Upset RV Owners Out There.....

Today driving to work down the 400 highway here is Ontario......I spotted a white reefer roof vent cover AND a black reefer access panel / vent cover.

That's over and above the lid from a cooler that I ran over.

Tough day for some.

What debris have YOU seen?
  • I have to say that 'ladders' are at the top of my debris list. I have a nice collection of step ladders in various heights, all from the side of the road and all in operable condition.

    Since I'm only about an hour from you I'll forward my address and you can return my parts to me, OK? :W

    why is it I find that kind of "Lost" cargo.. while I am riding my motorcycle.

    my most "BAD" a semi-tractor/trailer wheel/tire in middle of curve and middle of my lane. yes on the motorcycle.

    its hard that Cars can not see "US"... but some lost items can be deadly.

    I'm tired of ladders. Is it really that hard to secure a ladder to your truck? I've had a ladder in or on my truck for years. I value my tools. I've never lost a ladder, or any tool, while driving. It's hard to imagine so many people either don't care to secure them, or don't know how.


    I once bought this 5' round plastic kiddie pool and threw it in the back of my pick up and proceeded to drive home.
    At some point I looked in my rear view mirror only to see the pool hovering in the bed like a flying saucer!
    I had to slide open the back window and grab on to it before it became road debris.


    But ya....stuff people don't secure is a pain in the a**.
    Myself and about 40 cars were all pulled over on the highway within about 1/2 mile of each other with flat tires.
    Roofing nails.....littering the highway.
