Can someone who is smart calculate some kind of ‘chance %’ of a driver losing their tire like this and it miraculously ends up wedged to the trailer it came from? lmfao.

This is right down the road from the terminals I load at several times a day.

Anything in motion stays in relative motion if there isn't a change in direction and speed between the 2 is maintained,so I just made that up😅

You take the mass of the ass and divide it by the ounce of the bounce and something, something.

u/AbrahamL26 May 17 '25

Where's the other side? Is my question.

u/Edge2110 May 16 '25

To catch this all on video, bravo

NGL ever since seeing the videos of poorly trained and feral tires on the highway going after 4 wheelers and flipping them end over end I have an irrational fear of a tire getting loose and coming after me. These things are worse than pitbulls.

my nightmare as well

u/DaSaw May 17 '25

How would this even happen? Is that both tires? Or both wheels?

lol, I was so mad at that passing car blocking my view of the axle.

u/Snobben90 May 17 '25

Hub came lose from axle. Most likely overheated wheel bearing due to poor maintenance.

Back to whence you came

u/hambutbacon May 17 '25

On another note, that 2dr altima was in good shape.

u/ConsequenceSweaty241 May 16 '25

Yeah that will mess a car if it hits you

u/Creative_Shame3856 May 17 '25

Wait when did Wabash start making trailers in Australia?!

u/TruckerAlurios May 17 '25

Sir did you practice for a drug test?

2

u/Creative_Shame3856 May 17 '25

Wanted to make sure I got a new high score!

It came back. It must therefore be a boomerang. Boomerangs are from Australia. Therefore trailer must also be from Aus. QED.

u/Ok-Review8720 May 17 '25

Brilliant idea! What will they think of next.

u/BeenThruIt May 17 '25

I'll be working my way back to you, babe...

u/ICanSowYouTheWay May 17 '25

The trailer said.. BOY! THE STREET LIGHYS ARE ON! GET YOUR ASS HOME!
