towing safety

07-17-2008, 03:39 PM

I know a lot of you guys tow your bikes on occassion. I've seen accidents like this before, but just not one with quite such awful results. I wouldn't want to be the guy in this video.

Watch your overhead when towing or driving a large vehicle. These new trucks my drive just like a car, but they will usually NOT fit inside your garage or carport.

Cool, I saw that on Jay Leno last night! I bet his insurance company is not happy! I hope he did have insurance.

Medical insurance too!

I wonder if the gas station replaced his truck and trailer.

It was a bank.

I hope he (the truck driver) had adequate property damage coverage on his insurance because he definitely caused some property damage which he is responsible for.

I just hope that the roof didn't crush the driver as well. Can't really tell.
