And You Don't Chock Your Wheels?
Today we were at a friends daughters high school graduation party. One of the family guests had come from a distance and were there in a Mountaineere. We were invited over to see the rig. As I was walking around it, I noticed not ONE wheel was chocked. When I brought this to the owners attention, he poo pooed the idea saying it has never rolled and he thought the weight alone of the rig would keep it in place. I tried to point out to him the three times it could roll--when you unhitch it--when you hitch it up--and when its just sitting there all by its lonesome self. Now, with this advice, he still did not see the need to chock the wheels.
Which makes me wonder; should I even try to point these things out to people, or just let idiots like this learn from experience? Hmmm! The jury is still out on that question.
