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

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.

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.
