Topic: Hey Dude, nice hood ornament...

Again, not really funny, but....

Now here's one tough Dodge truck. This happened in Vernon, B.C. The driver hit the left turn light at 48th Ave. and 27th St. and sheared off the light post at the base, and then kept driving on about 2 km to Squires Four Pub, where he stopped for more beer!!  How pissed do you have to be to NOT notice that you are carrying a lamp standard? Notice that there is an Alberta plate on the truck.  No one said anything about a smart driver.

The truck was towed about 2.5 km. to the Vernon towing yard, with the light still pinched between the two tow hooks and bent bumper. It took several good hard pulls with a backhoe to get the pole free.

Well as long as its green isnt good for him to keep going?

That's hilarious!   Good thing he didn't kill somebody.

Looks a bit short to me.  Was he airborne?

One of them is most likely a turn arrow.

Correct.

I'm thinking he hit the post with enough force to push it over. When he got up to the 'join' between top and bottom halves it's just some bolts holding the two bits together. Then Robert is your mothers brother..... new hood ornament.

I ride through that intersection most weekends on my way to rider training in Kelowna.
