Due to the heat, we get a lot of big gators too. (separated truck tire treads for those of you not familiar with trucker terms) it sucks when someone in front of you runs one of those over and flips it up on your hood.
Amen on the ladders. I was towing a small trailer with a couch on it on I-10 when the truck in front of me hit a bump and it slid right off.
It kept sliding and stayed parallel with the flow of traffic so I just straddled it. Looked back and it had veered over to the shoulder. Well trained ladder.
