The following is an excerpt from a dated post I made of my personal experience of being hit on the hwy by road debris https://media.gettyimages.com/photos/rod-bowser-readies-his-hooks-and-chains-on-his-tow-truck-before-he-picture-id161064434 way back when I was a hp CE driving a company (ice) car: - http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/Re-LEAF-range-60-mi-65-mph-realistic-or-not-td4662868.html May 06, 2013 ... [Sidebar: years ago when driving the company ice to a customer site, I was in the right most middle lane (slower than others, but allows for queuing to change to the messed-up right lane to take an exit). Long story short, a LOUD THUMP and then a ding-a-ling chiming sound was occurring. This happened right when I was dickering to merge into the crowded right lane who did not want to budge me an inch. Once in the right lane, the lane was so beaten up from heavy trucks (ruts, pot holes, +more), a WHOMP from going over a large pothole at ~65mph shook loose what ever was under my company car. I briefly saw what it was in the rear view mirror before it went under the car behind me. I got hit by a tow truck hook. It must have fallen off a truck, was laying in the lane when my company car ran over it and flipped it just right so as to put enough English on it to drive it into the underside of the company car right under my driver's seat (so said the mechanics). They were surprised it did not drive its self up high enough into my butt. :Scary: (from that point on, I knew I was driving a puncture vulnerable beer can). /Sidebar] - For EVLN EV-newswire posts use: http://www.evdl.org/archive/ {brucedp.neocities.org} -- Sent from: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/ _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub ARCHIVE: http://www.evdl.org/archive/index.html INFO: http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
