Double throwback, remember this?

Truck drives over water meter and busts pipe

Throwback Friday? Remember This? https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/40-000lbs-truck-driving-directly-over-my-water-meter.65148/ Well, it happened again! This time it was my window installer, and he broke a 1 inch PVC water line to my neighbors irrigation system. They were not even supposed to...

And this?

40,000LBS Truck driving directly over my water meter

This happened a while ago. But I think it highlights how well my LPR could have saved my ass if I wasn't home. This could have caused thousands of dollars in damage The guy itinually refused to give me his liability insurance card and said my water line and meter was fine, despite not seeing it...

Well, today we have a followup. Of course they just left, and the police can't give me their insurance information because its out of state. Hopefully they show up again. If nothing else, it scuffed their truck good and I'll reset the post

That meter is poorly placed. Not excusing people driving in the lawn, but I've not seen a worse placed meter before.

I'll post my video from a couple days ago when the directional drilling company caused my sidewalk to heave 1/2" upwards causing a lip to my driveway that wasn't there before.

No excuse..it's a Platinum, so it definitely has a backup camera. Heck my XLT has one. :headbang:

I mean for Shit's sake, they only need to go back a few feet to be able to get going forward and leave. What's with all the uneccesary backing? ffs.
Mirrors? The hell you say....

Lol. Still no excuse. My Superduty predates back up cameras, but has these primitive devices called “mirrors,” that, if used, would show the imminent collision.:)

I drove boom trucks and bucket trucks with zero visibility out the back for over 31 years, in tight places, at night and all kinds of weather.
I'd do a walk-around, even when I had a helper, before I'd move them an inch...the rule was if you couldn't see you didn't move.
I still practice backing up using nothing but side mirrors and rarely use my backup cam, only when hitching up a trailer (which has its own chapter when it comes to knowing how to back up safely and properly). :cool:

I thought the same thing, no reason to back up that far. Today's drivers are clueless.

We just completed a round trip of 1200 miles, drove from here to Alliance Oh and back, the multitude of shenanigans we saw on the road was mind boggling. :smash:
