The tire blew no stupidity involved. The results may have been the same at 60.

One of the best advertisement for a steering stabilizer I have seen. No bus or truck should be with out one. You can not react as quick as it does.

You drop 5000lb down on a metal rim at any speed, and you will have a hard time keeping it in the road. Best thing you can do. Always have good tires on the steering axle.

No sympathy for stupidity, especially that special kind of stupidity that endangers other people.

I make a motion that all MH's be governed at 55 mph. :S

Yes I would like to know how fast the gentleman was going. Also which tire blew. I am assuming the left front?

[gbopp]

Ouch. It could have been a lot worse.

Okay. Passing an 18 wheeler. And the 18 wheelers drive between 55 and 65. Goin pretty darn fast while pulling a toad.
