Yesterday, on my way home from a tournament and while I was on the highway with my cruise control set on 75mph. I look in the rearview mirror and saw a truck coming up fast, he changed lane and started passing me. As he was passing, I noticed that he is towing a fifth wheel camper trailer with an F250, nothing unusual except I thought that this guy was flying, at least 80mph. As the camper got about even with my truck, my jaw dropped and said, no way! that is not a boat behind that camper. He passed me, merged back into the right lane and the boat appeared to be a 16-18ft fish/ski attached to the camper hitch. I'm not for sure but I don't think it's legal to double tow in Indiana. The amazing part of it was that the boat was swaying back and forth just like a chatterbait. What was even more amazing was this guy kept changing lane, passing people. There was no way he could have see the end of his rig because the camper shielded the boat, he was WEAVING in and out of traffic. The most amazing thing of all this was that everytime he changed lane, the boat looked like it gonna come off the hitch and this guy didn't seem to have any idea what was going on. I wish I have a camera with me, I would have video it and post it for you guys to see. Luckily for this numbnuts, he got off the highway about 2 miles before where there was a state trooper sitting on the side of the highway.

Takes all sorts doesnt it. Trouble is when that guys rig detatches itself and causes an accident he will probably be O.K. and a lot of innocent people will be killed or injured. He probably wont even know about it till he gets home and some of his load is missing.
