Why wait 10 years when it is happening now? Cali has more immigrants than all the other 49 states combined

people from cali would reconsider once they drive in nyc. destroyed wheels and faster wear on suspension and chassis.
when i vacationed in cali, the roads were all gold to me, but that's to be expected with 300 days of sunshine a year.

Imagine that hitting your head, neck or shirt if you were on a motorcycle.

A little off topic but this is exactly why you should always wear a full face helmet, thick leathers with armor, boots, and gauntlet gloves. I've been hit with rocks, a bird, and one time a bee stuck me in the neck while on the expressway while riding a sportbike. Other than the bee, it wasn't a big deal

I definitely can relate to this. There I was driving in the farthest righ Kane traveling northbound on the 215 when there was a huge fishers net in the middle of the lane. Luckily for emergency roads and my quick reactions I dodged it. Couldn't imagine the carnage that thing would have caused. I'm pretty sure someone else hit it too.

The fisher's net is to catch a car that looks like a shark driving in the inland empire.

These accidents or dumb wrecks are probably due to texting. But I was involved in one due to a drive while texting driver. Totaled my 370z and I still own it but I don't drive it. Kinda wrecked. Beyond repair

You might be in the wrong thread, this is about road debris though

Dodged two mattresses today. The two lanes used to merge from the 10 to the 101 each had one in it.

Way to tie your **** down, esp. when you know there's going to be a strong windstorm.

I swear, people are just stupid.

A few months back i was coming around a fairly tight turn on the 57 and spotted a whole wooden pallet in my lane... Had no choice but to run it over. I was surrounded by cars, and didn't want to risk a bigger accident by stomping on my brakes or swerving... So lucky when i took the next exit and checked out the underside of my car. I didn't see any damage. I did find a few nails in my tire when i finally replaced my rears last week tho.

I was also playing dodge ball on the freeway with a few people on the 91 recently. Somehow a soccer ball was loose and crossing the lanes slowly. Cars where all over the place trying not to hit it.

And lastly, about a year ago, i almost decapitated a motorcyclist. Going around another turn on the freeway in my lifted truck, I ran over a large chunks of semi-truck tire debris. It launched into the air, and i saw the guy on the bike duck and weave, and it went past hi head within a foot. Scared the hell out of me, and I'd be surprised if he didn't piss his leathers.
