Who says debris gets spread around in every RV wreck?
All one has to do is rear end someone at a stop sign/light and cause injury.

I'm not pulling out scales or checking weights, etc. You guys live in a fantasy world where cops have time for that nonsense and the ambulance chasing attorney's are sitting at intersections waiting for a wreck to happen.
