Doe! A deer, A female deer - Toyota Yaris Forums

Deer are a constant concern here too. But yesterday I was on I-15, doing my usual 60 mph, and some yahoo pulling a open trailer full of crap (moving or going to the dump, couldn't tell) had a LazyBoy blow out right in front of me. I was far enough behind by chance so by the time I passed the chair it was stopped, never a problem for me but sure could have been! It stopped right on the dotted line between lanes so not an immediate hazard to others, rather then stop and deal with it myself I called 911 as the trooper barracks was only a half mile away and they got the flashers etc.
While I had the 911 op on the horn, I had exited and as it happened, pulled up along the still clueless trailer puller. " Here's his license number, he'll be driving by the barracks in about a minute". Sneaky yeah, but damn he needs a heads up on securing his frigging load!

I love the feeling of 'freedom/less regulation/trying things just to see if they'll work' in states like Texas and Idaho (as opposed to a 'different' (

) feeling in California and some of the northeastern states), but the scenario you witnessed is one downside to the former.
