Years ago, I trailered my 23 some 60 plus miles down to Jupiter Inlet. When I got in the area, it began to rain. I went over a draw bridge and there was a red light. No problem, I stopped behind another vehicle in the left lane and I then looked in my rear view mirror. A truck pulling a 21-22 ft boat was going over the bridge and didn't seem to be stopping. Just before he was about to crash into the rear of my boat, he swerved to the other lane and luckily it was not occupied. He was again on the brakes as he just slid right through the intersection. At the ramp, I complimented the driver on his decision to change lanes, but told him I would have felt like killing him if he wrecked my boat. He said he didn't think he needed brakes, he only lived about five miles from the ramp.
