Re-Tread On 18-Wheelers Should Be Outlawed!

[jcashion]

Check out what it did to my windshield! The car in front of me hit a 6-foot piece of retred and sent it right into my windshied. My fiance was on the passenger side and we're thanking God it didn't go through! messed up the bumper, hood, windshield, fender, and possibly my bike rack. I'm just glad we're ok. State Farm is good to me)

Here's the pic: If you look close in the left hand corner, you can see the pice of tire that hit us. It's about 50 feet back.

I got T-Boned by a drunk driver. I had cracked ribs, bruised lungs , and a concussion. Drunk driving should be outlawed too!

it aint the retreads falt it did damage to your car its the states fault for not cleaning the dangeras debris from the roadway wich there for caused damage to your car so in return sue the state

dang that sux!! =( I am glad you both are ok though! Yah I see pieces of tire or w/e all over the road down here, they prob. should have some law about that.

When you sue the state, you are not really sueing the government or the people at fault. You are sueing your neighbors, your fellow voters and your self. Don't be overly litigous.

yeah man retreads are friggin dangerous! my mate had retreads and in 1 day the 2 rear tyres rolled of the rim =/

Now Justin I told you to quit making up stories about your drunk driving!!! lol Glad your safe man!!! Hey did you take any more pics of your car before they started working on it?

Nope. Wish I had, but I was just ready to get in a rental and get back on the road. The damage was estimated at a little over 2 grand, but he said it would be more of course if they have to replace the entire front. I'm thinking 3-4. Thank You State Farm! )
