    Well about the situation of getting hit by shredding tire. If you're getting hit by tire still shredding off the truck, then that means he's just had his blow out (in most cases). That would not be his fault (again in most cases) as he can't stop the truck on a dime as soon as the tires blows to keep tread from flying. Later, QD.

    Well I avoided the tire almost a mile before I approached the truck that had the blow out. and he was just cruising at about 60. It wasn't until a sheriff's deputy pulled him over that he actually got off in the Emergency lane.

    The first time it happened, I actually witnessed the blow out, and then followed the truck about 3/4 of a mile to the exit that I happened to be getting off. He got off and made a right and pulled into a parking lot.

    Botht times it was a considerable distance and the pelting of rubber seemed to be consitent
    I'm just that guy that spends all his time printing.... T-shirts, banners, vinyl, etc.

    If their is a big object in the road and is a hazard you can call a service to notify authorities so they can move it to avoid accidents. I was going to do that driving down 75S near Atlanta at night and swerved missed a metal bumper in the road. Then looked back at the Honda that was following me for awhile, he ran over it im like duh watch where your going lol. Anyways I was going to call H.E.R.O and what not but was already so far and didnt have easy access to my phone im like awww sh!t lol. Usually I will call road services if i see a danger in the road. Called 911 when a car was on fire on 75 and they go is this that car on so and so im like yap, they go oh we know everyone is calling about it lol.
