View Full Version : Pole!

Quoted from another site
Now here's one tough Dodge truck! In Vernon, B.C., a driver hit the left turn light at 48th Avenue and 27th Street, shearing it off at the base and then kept driving on about 2 kms to Squires Four Pub ~~ where he stopped for more beer! How pissed do you have to be to NOT notice that you are carrying a lamp standard?
(Notice there's an Alberta plate on the truck... No one said anything about a smart driver!)
The truck was towed about 2.5 kms, with the light still pinched between the two tow hooks and bent bumper, to the Vernon Towing Yard, where it took several good hard pulls with a backhoe to get the pole free

I bet it was the poles fault....:D
I wonder what his explanation was - "The pole came out of no where and hit me."

I thought those light standards came as stock equipment on Dodge trucks. The owners like looking at pretty lights ....... as well as pressing wild flowers...... and shopping at the mall ..... and doing their nails.

You know, I think that was the same truck that had a lamp post stuck up the BACK SIDE.
He was backing out of one of the pub parking lots and took out a traffic signal lamp post just like it!
He made it all the way downtown before the police stopped him!
When he was asked if he knew he had a set of traffic signal lights jammed up the back end, he replied,
"So ... all these Dodge trucks come with rear signal lights!" :rolleyes::rolleyes:
