A few years ago a tire came over the wall on GA 400 and killed a lady.

Final destination type shite. Can’t even see it until it’s too late.

I wonder if Congress will try and take away tires.

Not a tire, but a 55 gallon drum. Fortunately, I saw it "wobbling" on the back of the flat bed and was able to get over before it bounced down the interstate!

I also had a near miss with an aluminum sink that flew out of the back of a debris truck a couple of years ago. It hit the interstate right next to my truck. Fortunately, it bounced away from me.

As a driver there's not much you can do in that situation except be lucky.

I had this happen to me on the I-10 Mississippi River bridge at 2am while driving back from Key West, I have no idea how I was aware enough to dodge the tire after driving for 17 hours straight, but I managed it

I notice Rogue hasn’t posted ITT. Has anyone checked on him?

Saw a tire get flipped up into the air, fly over my car, slice the passenger side mirror off the car behind me, bounce, and get lodged under a truck.

Was pretty incredible that no one got hurt.

When I lived in Cincinnati a lady was killed when snowplow hit one of the lane reflectors in the middle of the road, shot it off across the interstate and through her windshield.

Custom Hood Deflector or Windshield Wipers. The Wipers would need sensors to engage before impact.

Imagine being the guy in front of The Rouge seeing the tire crossing over the barrier just behind him.

Scary as hell.
