Whoooooaaaaaa! that could have been so so much worse! By the way, we bought an excellent $$
) dashcam this week and we have it rigged up and running.
I had a very close call in downtown Baton Rouge in September 2001 (around ‘that’ date yes) - that bad S curve on 110 - I was behind a truck that had a huge ladder scrapped on its roof and for some inexplicable reason, I moved to pass him, and just as I did, his ladder came off and started bouncing all over the freeway. If I had still been in the lane behind him, it would’ve been horrible - but I was able to dodge it (I was in a car, not the RV). I always tried to keep away from anything that has something strapped on it.
