Read the actual article. This was a commercial vehicle that was hauling gravel. I think most folks are assuming it was some dumbass in a lifted truck with a few MAGA stickers on the back. That’s not the case.
The driver is still at fault for ignoring the posted weight limits, but it’s not like he was driving a personal vehicle, as much as we’d all love to see a some of these massive trucks and SUVs go through a bridge.
To be fair, the stock Ford 750 looks like the douchiest pickup vehicle imaginable. It’s like if you had asked an AI to design a truck specifically for dudes with fragile masculinity and court-mandated anger management classes. All it needs is twin flagpoles mounted to the back, with the American and confederate flags flying side by side.
Okay, but the truck is more commonly paired with a dump truck-style bed when used for commercial purposes like this: https://www.chicagomotorcars.com/imagetag/8228/3/l/Used-2007-Ford-F750-Super-Duty-Dump-Truck---CAT-DIESEL---Automatic---SUPER-CLEAN.jpg
Does a photo exist of the specific model this driver was using? If he was hauling gravel, I would guess he was using a dump truck model.
That is NOT a stock F-750. Try again. Be Better.
And that is the douchiest response you could have to that comment
Sure. Anywhere near as douchey as discrediting this community by spreading that garbage non-sense about what an F-750 actually is.
Ahh I see you don’t understand, I’ll explain. See an actual considerate human would just say “that’s actually not the base model” or whatever you were complaining about, instead you chose to be rude and top it off with a cringe ass “be better”, the go to response for someone who thinks they’ve got the moral high ground but don’t wanna put any sort of discussion into it.
You’re like the 2024 version of man-bun yoga hipsters, be better
Yeah, no. You see, your suggestion is actually what I replied to every other person who commented that claptrap on this post. Its like, right there in my comment history. That specific commenter went so far as to outright claim those pics were THE stock configuration though, and theirs was the last such comment I replied to. They, and you, can actually, on second thought, fuck right off.
I opted to be even slightly civil with them. Maybe because like their username or I just had an off moment.
You? You made the mistake of assuming I was being, idk, sincere or some shit. No, I don’t even actually hope or care that someone named “pm-your-nudes” even bothers to break character to make more truthful comments, so long as they’re kinda-sorta called on it when they don’t.
Stop being such an insincere-dumbfuck-persona-apologist. Getting people to realize “wow, I was almost fooled by this insincere shit-post-teir bullshit that failed to trip-up this man-bun-yoga-hipster dude” is exactly the shocked reader response I was going for. Welcome to peak internet. 2024 is the new 1994.
Aww buddy, that’s too much, I’m not reading that. hey, I’m going to block you now because we have disagreements, but have a good day though!
Can we just have a bridge that detects MAGA trucks and ditches them instead then?
To be far, I know a lot of CDL people who are MAGA, so this would track.
Even worse, professional driver should have known better.
one less wankpanzer on the road, just a shame a bridge had to be put in harms way to do so.
It was a work vehicle filled with gravel though, not a personal vehicle.
yeah this likely means that the historical bridge will be replaced by a more sturdy and ugly one
Posted weight limits were possibly ignored
(Emphasis added)
I think we can rule out any other possibility. Either they didn’t know the weight of their truck and ignored the weight limit, or they did know the weight of their truck and ignored the weight limit. Either way, they ignored the weight limit.
I think they’re arguing semantics. If the driver didn’t know the limits, they wouldn’t have ignored them, they’d have been ignorant to them
Cue car brains complaining about how their mini tanks must be supported by all infrastructure
But they also don’t want to pay taxes or see any slowdowns due to repairs or upgrades. The same energy as a child wishing every day were Christmas.
And no trains ever
Zinged’em!
Keep an eye on that truck driver for winning a Darwin Award sooner or later…
This is the opening plot to Beetlejuice
For once, an article reporting an “overweight Ford” causing a mess isn’t referring to a politician in Ontario.
The view through that hole in the bridge looks like something out of Soul Reaver.
Is this the plot to beetlejuice 2?
I thought the same, this looks a lot like the place they had the accident in the first movie
Oh nooo, they desperately needed an emergency 10cc of ego transplant but the fell though a bridge on the way to the boostegoification facility.
Rip.
I hope they build a new wider 4 lane bridge to accommodate the most basic traffic needs.
750s are work trucks
Oh, my bad, I though they were pleasure trucks.
No. Too pricey for the douchebags to drive around. I’m not saying there isn’t anyone cruising like they do the 250s but far and few in between.
I see & understand.
But would object to douchebags being price restricted :).
I was confused about the title because the first page of search said it meant being a crypto bro.
Only Wiktionary had the appropriate meaning derived from the not just bikes channel
School is hard sometimes
And the goblin who’d covered up the weight limit sign as the car was on approach said as he was uncovering it: ha! Gorham!
lol sounds about right
makes me genuinely laugh
