That reminds me of something I read:
Welcome to Massachusetts! We hope you enjoy our two seasons: Winter and Construction.

Haha, many truckers call summer "road work season!" Or "gator season!" Meaning that with the hot weather, there are more blown tires and tire caps (gators) in the roadway. You should always avoid those gators, they can cause heaps of damage to your vehicle, whether you're in a 4-wheeler or a big rig. I've seen those things literally leap up when struck, just like a gator launching an attack... the thought of the damage a gator could do to the air lines under my wagon kept me on the alert and ready to steer round one of those nasty critters at a moment's notice. Or a second's notice... there were times when they appeared unexpectedly (at night, for instance), and I had to swerve suddenly to avoid 'em. 
Underinflation is a common cause of tire blowouts in hot weather, which is why it's always good to check your tires before any trip. I've seen SO MANY RVs on the shoulder with a blown tire because the drivers didn't check tire inflation before going on vacation. When a vehicle sits for long periods (like an RV between trips), the tires can lose inflation yet still "look okay"---better to check 'em with a gauge before departure. Moi, I still walk around my 4-banger Camry every time before I leave the house, and I stop by Discount Tire every so often to get a free pressure check... Discount Tire is right near WallyWorld in Alamogordo, so it's no great imposition, and I usually buy tires there anyway.
One last observation before I log out and get on with my day: never tailgate or hang around big trucks on the highway, it's not a good idea for several reasons. Parts (like leaf springs on older wagons) occasionally break and come flying out from under the truck---I've seen pictures of a trooper's windshield smashed by a leaf spring segment, thing came right through the glass and SPEARED the shotgun seat. Clear through the seat, no lie, anybody sitting there would've been IMPALED. Also, when those big ol' truck tires blow at speed, they can hurl heavy caps and tire fragments a considerable distance, and those caps & fragments can cause serious damage. Motorcyclists in particular, BEWARE!

I stay as far away from trucks as I can.
I never stay in a blind spot of a truck or a car.
I drive for everyone on the road.
Sorry got OT again.

Yes! DH and I love watching those. My fav was when he forgot to unstrap his boat before backing it into the water and he's yelling at his wife "Pull up Tammy!". I die every time.
Running away won't work. If you are unarmed, prepare to die with honor, Make your progeny proud.
