Careful crossing those bridges

This is what could happen when you cross a steel plate on the road.

Wow! And that was just a cargo trailer. Suppose that had been my Ram 3500 that kicked up the plate while the Montana rolled merrily into it??? That guy's bikes were worth $20,000. My Monty is worth twice that and I just don't want to see it hurt.

With most of us worrying about being over-height, this is a good wake-up for different kinds of road hazards.

Thanks for the post.

Ouch! I just watched the video link to the accident. The owner of the rig and cargo trailer was a LOT calmer than I would have been under the circumstances.

It sounds to me like the State may take care of everything because of how it happened. I think they should anyway; that never should have been in a position where it could have flipped up and caused a problem under normal circumstances.
