Watched a TT lock up on 295 South today, north of Portland, Maine. Idiot Diriver in front of TT going too slow. Then aluminum components. hit the ground. I ran over one and thought....new friggen tires yesterday....did I lose one? Something happened with the TT...tire punctures. Heavy rubber on the road...stayed well behind him/her. Pulled over....he/she was screwed.
