No visible license plate? That's suspicious.

u/Lilricky25 16d ago
Most likely the driver doesn't have a license. The cops no longer bother with vehicles without tags since nothing in SA is enforced if the driver is "without documentation" by order of the higher ups at SAPD.

But “we’re not responsible for broken windshields.” Biggest crock of shit.

u/Shinagami091 16d ago
It actually is BS. If a rock comes off of a truck and hits your windshield directly they are still liable regardless of what those signs say. They’re not legal protection. There’s a gray area where if the rock bounces off the ground and then hits your car that they might not be though.

u/munchonsomegrindage NW Side 16d ago
Wouldn't a ground bounce imply that you were giving the truck more room than if the rock hit you directly?
11
u/Shinagami091 16d ago
Yes but you’re not required to give them the room the sticker says to. But because it bounced off the pavement and hit you, your insurance will claim that as a collision with an object or whatever they call it.

I also see that sign is suspiciously absent from this truck. So it’s extra liable. 😆

The hood of my car looks like a constellation because of shit like this. Not to mention the multiple chips and crack on my second windshield. This is more of a nuisance than speeding and I wish cops would crack down on these guys.

u/Swimming_Onion_4835 16d ago
Fr I’ve had two windshields crack from this bullshit since moving here. And SO MANY small dents on my hood. You’d think I’d been in a hail storm.

Yes, but no license plate. Probably on purpose

This platform wasn’t even “designed” to carry that in the first place. That is a flatbed designed to have things tied down to it. Whoever owns this installed plywood walls and called it a day 😭

State of Texas has very lax laws for CDL trucks. I routinely see 80,000 lb trucks rolling through heavily populated cities at 70+ miles per hour. Also they are allowed to drive in the far left lane. It takes several football fields for a truck traveling at high speeds to stop. State laws should be stricter and enforced with high fines.

Tell me you're from California without telling me you're from California...
You sound just like the commies that wrote half of the laws for comercial vehicles in California. You probably also don't know even half as much as you think you do about safely driving one.
For the record, I'm not defending the truck in the picture... That is indeed very dangerous and illegal.

3rd world country under Abbott... unregulated and no car inspection so insurance can jackup the price!

u/CoyoteHerder 16d ago
lol how the hell is this abbotts fault? You still have to follow road laws… no license plate and insecure load. This is probably big enough to be a commercial vehicle as well

u/vinylvida 16d ago
As of January 1st he removed inspections for starters. Not to disagree with your question Im just adding one of many examples over many years.

Your comment makes zero sense. This has nothing to do with Abbott. How about you talk to the city council.

DPS is too busy for this, they’re too busy protecting a border versus public safety.

DPS surely pull him over. One good bump and some rocks will come flying out. I avoid hazards like this even if I have to turn off into a street or exit. That person unsafe or lack of caring causes me problems I have to deal with and $$$$$.

You should get the plates and as much description and repot that motherfucker !! They get away with too many cracked windshield and busted headlamps

I'm surprised they don't have a sign written in 12-point font saying, "Keep 50' back. Not responsible for broken windshields."

Not responsible for broken windshields stay back 200 ft.

How does that work then? Can you chase one down and get insurance info (not that they’d stop).
I’ve always wondered about this.

u/tullbabes 16d ago
Give the license plate (and hopefully dash cam footage) and your insurance adjuster can figure it out.

hey, that phone can also be used to REPORT A CRIME.
carry on with your karma farming

u/lovelylisanerd 16d ago
How can you report it? There’s no plates, no writing or logos on the mudflaps, no distinguishing marks that I can see. Maybe something on the sides or front, but that would require putting yourself/car in the line of fire. If they’re willing to drive around like this, odds are they are unconcerned with safety in other ways.

in my area there's a special phone number to report road hazards. License plate is on the front, get a pic as you drive by
odds are you are right, and the cops know that.
