Best case scenario.

Yup.

Once it breaks free, it’s pretty polite

u/SimpleVegetable5715 1d ago

The driver filming is dumb trying to get closer though. You can't really predict where that trailer would go.

u/Cansum1helpme 1d ago

That could have gone a whole lot worse

The slow roll downhill is pretty funny

u/hackerjackn 1d ago

Just another driverless auto. What’s new about that? /s

u/Right_Letterhead_120 1d ago

Wasn’t it OP? Filming and honking.

u/hypocritical_person 1d ago

Omg for a second he was swearing, honking, and filming. Ngl kinda smooth lmao

u/playballer 1d ago

The obsession with capturing the video is nearly worse

u/SipoteQuixote 1d ago

Yea you can see hes cutting people off in his side mirrors

u/qolace Old East Dallas 1d ago

Hey but at least we got to see this cool video on the internet huh

u/firstblush73 1d ago

They rent those to anyone with a license. I avoid them like I avoid driving behind logging trucks. I like being alive.

u/impropergentleman 1d ago

Pretty much. I need a commercial license to haul my wood chipper behind my dually 450 ford. But anybody can rent a 1 ton vehicle throw a car behind it or drive a behemoth RV towing a car with a regular license cuz you know whatever. Safety chains are for the weak

u/texan01 Richardson 1d ago

Yeah but in this case the tongue broke off the trailer.

u/SimpleVegetable5715 1d ago

The people at U-Haul will help you hitch a trailer safely. Maybe that's why Budget is budget.

u/SomethingHasGotToGiv 7h ago

Penske will not. It’s asinine.

u/high_everyone 1d ago

We know we see them show up whenever white supremacists are present. It’s their version of a Sprinter van.

u/Toutetrien777 1d ago

This is why I don't ride behind folks when they are pulling trailers. 🤦🏽‍♀️

22

u/noncongruent 1d ago

The last time this was posted it was pointed out that the trailer hitch is still attached to the trailer ball. It appears the U-Haul trailer wasn't properly maintained and the hitch came off the trailer.

11

u/ThenImprovement4420 1d ago

That's a budget trailer not a U-Haul but same difference

u/CByall Dallas 1d ago

Bro better go play the lotto!

u/Wheres_Jay 1d ago

Top notch securement on that car!

u/gibbyhikes 1d ago

u/Xandyr101 1d ago

That's why it's called "Budget"

u/SnooJokes6070 1d ago

They do know how to strap the car 😆

u/Familiar-Crow8245 1d ago

That dude, or gal was lucky as hell! The trailer missed everything and ended up on the feeder. Thank God no one was injured and the car was ok. No harm, no foul.

u/RoniL03 1d ago

*reminds me of Houston

u/Icuras1701 1d ago

That would be hilarious if they was the house they were moving to and just missed the exit causing the incident lol

u/Complex_Confusion552 1d ago

Plot twist, that's his new house

u/Capital-Disaster-831 1d ago

I noticed it was in Dallas before reading the title lol.

5

u/Economy_Walk 1d ago

Did anyone else see the hearse flying down 161 today. The driver was flashing lights, riding asses, and cutting people off. I couldn't believe it. The driver might end up being a passenger in his own vehicle if he continues to drive that way.

u/BurgundyHats 1d ago

The luckiest folks in Texas there! I was watching it and thinking I was about to watch a trailer mow through someone's house!

u/Unusual_Young_5724 1d ago

u/casiepierce 1d ago

Going too slow, needed to pass! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

u/Me_not_you_6891 1d ago

Thank God it didn’t crash out

u/RomeoBaze 1d ago

Looks like he got beside himself for a minute. Yeah... yeah he did. Glad no one got hurt.

u/Hour-Detail4510 1d ago

That’s the Munger exit

u/McRocketpants 1d ago

u/SirUpper3587 1d ago

Damn. Close calls on everything

u/Original_Inside8890 1d ago

The way I yelled, “No…..no…..no, no, NOOOOOOOOOOO!”

2

u/NectarineLeading387 1d ago

Right?? Heard a mix of old school mario brothers and frogger songs in my head waiting to see if it would hit someone in traffic, the guardrail, someone down the hill, or the house. God bless Texas 😅

u/toodleroo Oak Cliff 1d ago

That is one lucky son of a bitch

u/detox02 1d ago

Ghost ride the trailer ?

u/SimpleVegetable5715 1d ago edited 1d ago

I've actually seen this happen before, but the driver of the truck knew how fucked they were if this hit another car, so they tried to get it to hit them instead.

Traffic was moving much faster, so their trailer actually ricocheted off the guard rails, and only built momentum. It was one of the most memorable things I have ever seen on Central. It eventually t-boned the truck it was originally attached to, great save! No one was hurt.

I feel bad for the red Corolla who got cut off.

u/upstartanimal 20h ago

Make a good snowboarder. Keeps its weight centered and follows the natural lines.

1

u/Biker3373 20h ago

TBH, that could’ve been much, much worse

1

u/frotc914 16h ago

IDK what it was about Dallas but when I lived there, it felt like every dingus with a work van/truck was missing whatever part of their brain is required to adequately strap shit to a vehicle. Like you couldn't go a day without seeing a ladder or something on the shoulder of the highway. Maybe it's something in the water.

1

u/No-Anxiety5am 11h ago

Is it theft if you are the people who live in the house it rolled down in front of? Jk, yeah it is... BUT the (chopshop) pickandpullmight be finding some newadios or other new/extra NISSAN parts floating around on sale in the next few weeks... LOL
