Many years ago I was a CHP motor officer in South Los Angeles. One boring Sunday on I 405 I found my self following a truck with no tailgate, hauling a very large load of aquariums with only one rope around the back side. As I lazily watched I realized this was a very unsafe load and I was right behind it. About that time the truck hit a pavement joiint and the the whole darn load began falling. I couldn't do anything but hunker down behind my windshield as I started running over the tanks. At least they all were breaking and folding up so it wasn't a really big problem, but the ticket and butt chewing the driver got sure was.
