Stupid Tailgating People !!!!!!!!!! Pics

I-10 South @ about 70 mph, Van Blows tire in front of me and spins into median. I apply brakes to avoid, I dont even come close to him but the woman behind me musta been asleep or just too close. She was in a chebby. Got a tow. I drove home

Serves her right. Stupid Gordon fans.

What the hell is with all these wounded F150s as of late? Sucks, man.

My thoughts exactly. I guess the hunting season for new model F150's officially opened today. Wonder how much a Chebby permit goes for?

Glad to see that you are ok ( I am assuming that you are ok because you drove home).

You must have done some hell of driving to avoid the vehicle in your front and the traffic in the other lanes. I have little doubt that she was talking on her cell phone, eating a BigMac, and changing channels on the radio (or something like that). She, like many others, just can't be bothered with driving while driving.

There is a reason why our Fords weigh so much and now you know first hand. That "5 star" crash rating may have saved you from serious injury.

That stinks! I hate it when people are not paying attention while driving.

Glad you're okay, or as okay as you can be considering the situation.

If I saw the Chevy picture first, I would have thought the rear end of your truck would have been MUCH worse.

We have some tough trucks.

Really sorry your truck is damaged.

I make a 70 mile interstate commute a lot and I see whole lines of vehicles driving with a car length b/t them max... I always think that if something goes wrong, they're all going to pile up. Guess they're trying to draft each other for maximum fuel mileage. ;-)

Sorry to hear about your accident. It looks like the other vehicle ran into a brick wall. There are a lot of bad drivers out there and seeing those images is a vivid reminder to me of one of the main reasons I bought my F150.

hope everyone's alright!! did your airbags go off? gotta lovem fords! good thing those chevy's have premium engine bay reinforcements! did you know fords marketing 'built ford tough' where they drop their logo on stone/rock and the rock breaks up is meant as a direct comparison to chevy's (like a rock...) and fords superiority over the competition.
