It all happened in a split second. I sped up and passed the pickup, and the guy wasn't even aware that he had lost a mattress. I'm very anal about securing loads in my trucks and trailers but am always amazed at how many people will tailgate me while I'm loaded. Glad to hear your attentiveness served you well!

Also, why isn't carrying people in the bed illegal? Just a few months ago four women died in Hawaii when the truck whose bed they were riding in collided with another car. The scary thing is all the kids you see riding around in the beds of pickups. You don't even need to crash. One sharp turn could send them flying. Glad to hear your attentiveness served you well! That makes two of us! Marc

Side note - In Singapore pickups and other flatbed trucks are placarded
as the the MAXIMUM number of people allowed to ride in the bed. The most I've seen is 55... crazy! --Dan B A R R Y wrote: Marc Adler wrote: B A R R Y wrote: I'm very anal about securing loads in my trucks and trailers but am always amazed at how many people will tailgate me while I'm loaded.

They really don't like it if you are driving around loaded! ;)
