Might be a good idea to make sure the load is safe ... https://abc7.com/box-truck-explodes-in-middle-of-boyle-heights-street/4901274/ Los Angeles police said the explosion was possibly caused by a propane tank being transported inside the vehicle. |

Might be a good idea to make sure the load is safe ... There are reasons for the statuary declarations on freight & postal items about not containing dangerous goods, and posters on the walls about what those items are. Unfortunately too many people think those requirements don't apply to them. Same for the storage of such products- eg Tianjin (Yeah, it was a hazardous chemical storage facility, unfortunately they were also storing all sorts of other chemicals in addition to the ones they were actually authorised to store there).

Twenty-eight injured in Lisbon tram crash Reports said the tram came off the rails on a bend at the bottom of a steep hill, before hitting a building.And the photographs show that the traditional, probably wooden, tram body shell has completely disintegrated. On the other hand, in the Croydon tram crash in the UK two years ago, with a rigid modern monocoque body, 7 people died from a similar cause. |

Truckies often cop a lot of flack from other road users (and often it's not the truckies fault), but it's nice to see them getting praise every now & then. Facebook post thanking truckie for guiding couple through north Queensland rain goes viral. "The water was lapping both sides of the Bruce Highway and in some parts, it was over the road," Ms Clarke wrote. Grant Darwin NT |

I was going to commend their parking efficiency. Perhaps we should adopt that mode in cities too? |

Talk about lucky. Police video shows car spectacularly launched into tunnel roof in Slovakia. Slovakian police have released video of a spectacular single-car crash which shows a BMW being launched into the air off a concrete barrier and hitting the top of a tunnel. Despite images showing extensive damage to the vehicle, which crashed into the road after hitting the tunnel roof, police said the 44-year-old driver did not sustain serious injuries from the crash.

It's always dangerous to be stopped on the side of a busy road, and this illustrates that fact - https://www.whas11.com/article/news/local/louisville-detective-killed-in-christmas-eve-crash-driver-charged-with-murder-dui/417-a89edc96-72f4-45a3-8b56-61e00a55a8dd  The mind is a weird and mysterious place

5 miles of 15-25mph twisty ancient possibly 1930's curves on SR138, too fast and it's either fly off the road or into oncoming traffic, yeah I traveled this road, now I have an idiot light on to investigate, which happened within 20 miles of home on Dec 25th 2018. Caltrans needs to spend some money here, getting in or out quickly is impossible. And Semi Trucks stay off of this route as the curves are way too tight.  Savoir-Faire is everywhere!

Vic that's a road my Miata would love. Yeah tight hairpin curves, no shoulders, no turnouts, most don't drive or fly Miata's or Ford Escort zx2 Sport Hot Coupes(Mazda drivetrain in the zx2), Caltrans was last I looked was spending $23 million on upgrading a part of sr138 to 2 lane freeway standards complete with on/off ramps as funds allow that leads to this area and I have an automatic transmission in the zx2, so far plans for this section are not online and I've searched.
