Have not seen a strap on hitch since leaving Jersey over 20 years ago. Always amazed at the things one see on the road. Was on the bike last year in town. Last year I saw a tractor trailer that had a dozen or so bales of cardboard heading to be recycled. Driver was turning off of Division, the main drag in Spokane. Straps let loose, 2 bales landed on a mini-van...What a mess....
