gotta love how the drivers side window was opened a couple inches. Too bad it wasn't a cow shit spreader, just to add insult to injury. It's not like you can miss a cement truck coming at ya.
To get a drivers license every applicant should have to drive a big rig over a closed course to understand a bit of real world physics. People expect them to behave like Miatas when they’re built like stegosauruses
It might have gotten a lot worse. Assuming the po-po got called and that's a fair assumption, if Orificer Friendly didn't turn the truck loose to dump that load before it started setting up in the drum, what ensued wasn't hilarity.
I drive a mixer in New Zealand which loads and discharges from the rear. I've never seen a front discharge mixer here and, for me, a sudden stop on the flat poses no spill risk. Hills are a different matter but if you manage your load and the mix speed there's no worries once you learn.
Traveling through Latin America, we often saw signs on rural bridges -- 'Gross Tonnage Has Right-Of-Way', with an image of a water buffalo, a military tank, and a locomotive blowing its horn.

ReplyDeleteThat gif should be right next to "Poetic Justice" in the dictionary.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, not a Back To The Future moment.
ReplyDeleteGuffawing in the morning is hazardous to your coffee!
ReplyDeleteI learnt some in my life.
ReplyDeleteThat'll buff out. At $200/yrd should send them the bill for lost crete and jammed-on brakes. Could have been a lot worse.

ReplyDeleteJust a bit of common sense here, bigger loads have the right of way.
