I thought debris and other cars was all I had to worry about on an
interstate...a coupla weeks ago some STUPID idjit was walking in between
lanes of a local thruway (Raleigh's 440 beltline) with his BACK turned to
traffic in FOGGY conditions. I mean, not crossing the highway, WALKING in it,
on the dotted white lane dividers! I almost hit him doing about 75, scared
the bejeezus outta me. Never saw him coming. Shaking, I called 911 on him,
provided he survived that long...thinking back, he was either drunk, stupid,
or suicidal.
You just gotta always be alert...

on a big rig get left out in the traffic lanes (someone hit it and
died), tons of ladders, oil drilling equip (HEAVY!!) and believe it or
not, a BB Ford engine, complete from carb to oil pan!! Wheels, car
batteries, chairs, mufflers, large concrete chunks, wood, couches,
ovens, well, you get the pic!! The rule here is that if you hit it while
you're moving, it goes on you for not paying attention to the road. If
you hit it while it's still like bouncing around, it's not your fault.
