Default Truck drivers

Yesterday, I was driving on H1 west bound near Kahala. I was in front of this truck that seems to be a construction worker's truck cuz he got all these tool box in the back. I was driving maybe 5-6 cars space in back of him, suddenly I saw something on the road and it seems to be like some kind of silicone glue tubes and then a box. I ran over a tube, but I didn't notice it was from the truck in front to me. I continued to drive behind him and all of a sudden a fricken cooler came off his truck , I slowed down but not able to switch lanes because there are cars on the other lane. I hit the cooler, but since the cooler was traveling with speed, it didn't cause any damage to the S. Then I look closely to the truck and tail gate wasn't closed. I switched lane as soon as I can to prevent any further tool box or hammers flying off. It was a scary but also a good experience.

omg! good thing your car is ok.

yeah have the S is scary, when you got the top down you have to watch for stuff coming off other cars and rocks being kicked up by cars in front of you.

also when the top is up you cant drive behind people that are smoking cause when they ash it can burn/melt the top.

I've had a truck driver (Tractor Trailer types) drive off the side of the road to kick up rocks and roadside debris on to the roadway and into my path. I was able to change lanes to avoid most of the debris. Heard some of the small stuff bouncing under my car. I got stuck in traffic and he sped off.
