Driving Requires Attention

We've had a lot of flying truck tires around here on the 401 at Putman and one death.
The 401 at Putman is a 'Bermuda Triangle' of crashes.
Well worth avoiding.
 
Hate to sound like an asshole, but I never clean the snow off the roof. It was a benefit one winter though. One winter, shortly after moving to MD from FL, I was driving to work in the Diplo. Didn't have any 4x4s at the time, so I took Law & Order (the Diplomat's name). Some schmuck in an F-350 was tailgating me so I popped the roof (I have no headliner) and a chuck flew off and hit his grille. He backed off and a couple of minutes later he was back. So I hit again and the same thing. At round 3, I got tired of the game so I hit towards the back to get a big chunk off. This big chunk hit the front of his truck and blew up into pieces. Needless to say, he dropped way back. Hindsight being 20/20, I could've caused an accident. However, he could've caused me to get into one as well.
 
Funny, I think the ice vid is from Maryland.
We have flying truck tires.

While flying wheels decreased dramatically in Ontario after 1997, when there were 215 crashes

I had to look it up, but there is a AWD Prius, so when the front wheels slips, the chains out back might do something.

As far as I've read though awd was a 2015 option. Before that model in the picture I think. Mind you.....I'm definitely not any kind of prius expert.

Regardless it would primarily be a fwd car so you have to wonder what kind of mind would put chains in the rear.

Oh right.....the mind of a prius driver.
As you can see in the picture.....it's working well.
 
Another week, another truck tire kills.

Need either tethers or wheels caged in.
Something has to be done.

Have no idea how this was done but the only thing has to be 'moron in P/U'
Looks like the P/U was doing 'bowling for dollars'
Old lady in the rent a ambulance died.
