    I strap my load down put on a red flag drive within the law, but always a certain relief once the load is gone! One time I had a rusted out Chevy bed on the back on my Nissan, problem was we loaded it up and it hung over where you put in gas and yes the gas tank light was on! Made it to the yard and then had money for gas!!!

    There's a rumor running around these parts that a guy bought a bag of ice, put it in the bed of his truck, turned a corner, bag slid and a cop wrote him up for it. Not sure how true it is, but unbelievable if it is.

    I don't know but that was FUNNY. Actually, I wouldn't doubt it. I've seen rookies try some unbelievable stuff.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    securing loads in vehicle citation

    Luckily I live 10 mins backroads from the yard and rarely strap my load, but always do if necessary. Dropped a bag of cans once, that's it! Plus, Voodoo can not sit still on the seat of the truck, so every turn is like a sideways rollercoaster for her, and I feel bad when the Ol'Dog cracks her chin on the dash, so bringing dog to the yard with me makes me drive a little less wreckless...

    VDaddy, I've seen this a time or two, pick up a recycled child car seat and strap it in for your buddy.
    Now they have safety straps for your friend like a walking harness buy snap it into the belts when ready to go. Keep him/her safe.

    I don't believe I've let any cast seats go to the crusher, but yet I don't take the time to remove/save/store the rest of them.

    Mech, Voodoo would kill me if I strapped her in!!! She'd never wanna go for a ride in the big red truck anymore. I think she enjoys it, actually, it must be like a rollercoaster to that silly old dog.

    Well had my day in court for the ticket today. I didn't exactly win but the case was still dismissed cause I came in with a positive attitude and they felt I learned a lesson from it.

    How many do you have and what do you want for them? haha.

    I'm surprised I caught this. PM me though, I might not catch it again.

    Unsecured loads are a serious offense in WA. Several years back a woman was seriously injured and blinded when an unsecured table came off a trailer and went through her windshield on the freeway.

    One time I saw a scrapper driving down the highway with a flatbed pickup stacked with three cars on the back, one on top of another, the top car was loaded diagonally so the front end of the top car was hanging over the drivers side of the load, dangerous for oncoming traffic.
