RV taking on pop-up-tent on I-75

Must be something going on down here. We must have seen a million trailers with 4 wheelers.[/QUOTE]


It’s peak deer hunting season here. All the locals and Florida hunters are out n force.

One of the many things I love about my Subaru Baja is when I carry a motorcycle in the bed I can unlatch the swinging license plate bracket so the plate is visible with the tailgate down.

Very good advice! We have a friend that is a forensic accident investigator that says get the best dash camera set up you can, one that records front, rear, in cab as well as sound, GPS location and speed. The ones I have can even "wake up" and record when parked if it detects any motion. He said that the video will stand up in court. I have them installed in all 6 vehicles, never had to use them but I think it's cheap insurance (well not exactly cheap but somewhat reasonable).

In case of an incident like the OP had he would have had the license plate recorded.

I'm sorry to hear of your misfortune but al least it sounds like you are all ok.
