And the sad thing is, this isn't a fake, or someone taking a pic of a driver still setting his load. This was an actual Georgia DPS stopping of a very idiotic driver.
The recent BS conviction of a driver to 110 years in prison should be a warning about stuff like this.

Yes. He was driving down the road in a flat bed with no straps on his load. Unfortunately, the GaDPS didn't release a statement from the driver with an explanation on why he was doing this. I'm pretty sure every trucker he passed was calling 911 though.

Every trucker he passed who got a good look at it would have been telling him over the radio to pull the fuck over and strap his load down. Only upon getting no response or a negative response would they be calling 911. Which, assuming he did pass any, makes it even worse that it took the authorities stepping in.

Also the front of that trailer looks a little bent out of shape.

Actually, the days of trucker CBs are done. Less then 2% of drivers even have them anymore. I haven't had one since the late 90's. It's all cell phones and computer uplinks now. Not sure if it's better or not.

Huh. Chalk that up to country differences, I guess. In several countries in Oceania they still see significant usage as far as I'm aware. The mobile phone network in Australia for example has nowhere near enough coverage to fully replace UHF CB radio in sparsely populated rural areas.

I can see that. Another issue here in the states is language. More and more drivers here don't speak English, or just barely well enough. I've sat in line at a C.C. waiting before and listened to Russian, Arabic, Somalian (different than Arabic), French, 2 different styles of Spanish, Korean (I think) and 2 other languages I have no frame of reference for. Most of whom couldn't speak English. So yeah, CB,s are dying in the U.S.

Also, I fixed the link in my last post.
 
 









And almost never makes the news, so this is a welcome story despite the tragedy.
 
I recognize the last girl from Shield Hero (though I haven't seen much of it), who is the first (and second?) girl?
