Anything flying out of a truck can become a deadly missile and could kill someone riding behind.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Even if these bags were full of nothing but paper, a motorist behind might not know that and swerve to avoid it, causing an accident.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In one year I lost a windshield due to flying debris, and flattened two tires when I swerved to avoid something that had fallen off a truck. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When I was younger one of the families in our church lost their son (and his girlfriend) in a freak accident when a piece of re-bar fell off a truck, bounced off the roadway and impaled them on their motorcycle.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Anything not tied down is a danger and drivers should be ticketed and fined by law enforcement.  Not tying down your load is a crime in most states.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Sue</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 10 Sep 2008 11:06:23 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Overloaded Truck</title><link>http://rtfa.net/2008/08/25/overloaded-truck/#comment-3681905</link><description>Question: "Is this dangerous?"&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Answer: Well, yes.
