Wow, that's not interesting.

Ahhh, Texas. That explains the whole thing.
I have a theory that Texas roads have more crown? to them and it makes them hard to drive on. Maybe it is because they pave with concrete, or maybe they design them that way to drain water from thunderstorms better? Anyway, years ago my buddy rolled his then new F-250 when we were on the way to his dad's place in Houston. He hit a sizable puddle on the shoulder and that damn anchor of a truck hydroplaned long enough to kick us sideways, we hit dry pavement again and the only thing that changed was the sound the tires made. We continued to rotate across the other lane and eventually broadsided the opposite curb. This blew both passenger tires instantly and the naked wheels dug into the soft ground sending us onto our side. A small sapling kept us from rolling completely over and as we were catching our breath and planning an exit the truck fell back onto it's wheels. You never realize how much junk and dirt are stuffed into a vehicle that size until it turns over. His dad circled back and was completely astonished that we could roll a truck on a straight road in perfect weather. It was quite a feat. http://i.imgur.com/XJDD6.jpg http://i.imgur.com/xhdYU.jpg http://i.imgur.com/HiYVU.jpg We put the spare on it and had air put in the tire that didn't have a hole in it then drove it back home to Atlanta. The alignment was way off but it wasn't too bad. |

Don't see horizontal traffic lights like that here...would be semi-confusing to somebody not used to them.

[QUOTE] Yes, the roads are used as drainage during heavy downpours This made the local news... Local law enforcement has issued warrants for both drivers. I'm sure this will cost them more than just vehicle repair!! |

It's not like we use different colors. You still look for Red and Green with the informational Yellow (you know, "go faster") |

Interesting. I've lived several places where there were horizontal lights. I believe they are all oriented the same way with red on the left and green on the right. I guess that's something that the color blind folks would get used to.

That video was about 45s too long.
