Comment on The movie came out 21 years ago, and I still think of it frequently when I drive.

I just watched this with my wife this past October. Her first time seeing it, and yet she still knew “final destination says don’t drive behind log trucks”
We didn’t get to any of the other movies, or she probably wouldn’t want to go to theme parks and she’d never tan in a tanning bed again (I’m okay with this one)

Oh yeah, I’ve seen enough stuff fall off trucks that I’m convinced it’s good to do anyway. Also yeah, tanning beds are one of the more insane things that we’ve come up with as a species.

I always put extra space between me and anyone hauling things.
I once had to dodge patio furniture boxes on a highway because someone didn’t strap everything down correctly. Didn’t even realize they were shedding their cargo, it took several miles for people to get them to stop.
I always let these trucks get way ahead, or I speed ahead if they’re going a little slower. I’ve actually seen one tip over, granted that was on a mountain road meant for passenger vehicles only, but still, I was close enough to be thankful we used a rest stop. Scary shit when you could actually get hit by a giant trunk.

There are so many mouth breathers driving trucks and throwing stuff in the back without any idea how to properly secure loads that a long commute some days in my town is like Spy Hunter on hard mode. Mattresses, ladders, dollies, random furniture.
