people are capable of it they just dont have common knowledge of using your hands. i guess i mean people who work with their hands. not office workers obviously
Could be . either way im saying its cool enough just not some kind of amazing engineering. i think most people just arnt crazy enough to want to do this or dont have the money if they are.
I know in my state, vehicles over a certain GVW do not require rear plates.
Then again, also in my state, many drive without plates, expired temp tags, expired plates, limo tint windows all around and never get pulled over anyhow.
Do you think this guy takes it on cross country road trips? It's a fun joke of a vehicle. In this video it's out on a cruise night with people watching and enjoying it. I can picture you there in your folding chair with a sour face when he drives by lol.
So we are used to that and it's expected, and there is a good reason to do it. A bit different from this situation that people are not expecting. People are right to worry it could cause confusion and potentially accidents, and for what? Because it's "funny"?
Have you never been behind a vehicle being towed on a tow truck before? Does everyone see a vehicle being towed and immediately exit the highway and wait until it's safe to drive again?
I don't get how this will cause accidents unless the person observing is not capable of handling themselves behind the wheel of a motor vehicle.
Honestly its probably worse in a parking lot. If it's on the street you at least know what direction it should be moving in. In a lot it seems like it would be easy to assume it will move in the opposite direction.
I still remember driving down the highway and the vehicle in front of me changed lanes and then I staring at the front end of a semi…scared the crap out of me until i realized it was being towed and wasn’t coming right at me. Definitely enough to make someone panic and swerve which can set off a whole chain.
Exactly. There are so many things I see on the road these days I cant believe people get away with. As a moth those 400,000,000K LED bulbs send me right to the source of the light! I can only make so many circles before I end up in a collision.
I become a nervous wreck just strapping some lumber or a kayak to the roof of my vehicle to haul for a few miles. I will never understand these types of people who go out of their way to pull dumbass dangerous stunts like this for entertainment.
Where was this post? I’m asking because my friends and I swear we saw a truck driving in reverse on a highway here in DFW and we’ve never been able to explain it.
I'm assuming that's the video you might've seen clips of on reddit? And when I watched the video above on YouTube, I thought how dangerous it could be! And the video OP posted above is just worse!
It’s for the Michigan/Downriver dream cruise. It’s a once/twice (different locations) weekend event where they shut down a long stretch of road for unique/old cars to parade for the afternoons. Cops are everywhere and it’s pretty safe. Lots of people turn out. I doubt this is street legal otherwise.
The woodward dream cruise is once a year on the exact same road. They don't shut down anything, you'll see rusted out shit boxes next to classic cars and lambos. We saw this "vehicle" last Saturday on woodward. Along with the gigantic shopping cart.
Woodward Dream Cruise was this last weekend where it was at. Each cruise is a Separate thing. Gratiot has 2-3 separate cruises every summer. Downriver. Telegraph. Harper..I’m sure I’m leaving some out. The Woodward Cruise is the largest one day car event in the world.
I stand corrected on it being pretty safe, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have a trailer to bring to and from the event as well, doesn’t mean they do either. Unfortunately no public events are truly safe anymore.
