Should Check Your Mirrors Every Now and Again!
A gentleman passed me today (fifthwheel) on Interstate 20 in Texas spraying rubber all over the road. Doing no less than 75 mph, the flapping sound was extremely loud as he passed. I flashed my brights at least 30 times before he disappeared in the distance. I very much expected to see him shortly thinking his other tire would give-out or he would notice. I checked the mileage.... and he made it 50 miles before I snapped a photo of him changing the tire. That other tire held up saving him from worse matters! Hope the damage was not too severe. I would have liked to pull over to help, but did not want to compound issues with such a narrow emergency lane.
