Remember When This U-Haul Truck Travesty in Manchester, New Hampshire, Went Viral?
Editor's note: This article was written by a Townsquare Media Northern New England contributor and may contain the individual's views, opinions or personal experiences.
There is only one word in the English language we can use to describe this video that was captured in Manchester, New Hampshire. That word is 'wild'.
The caption was "Just another day in Manchester. She kept on driving and returned to U-haul and claimed the damage was already there. "
I think it's safe to say the internet feels the same way, since this video has been viewed 2.5 thousand times, shared 708 times, and has racked up over 600 comments.
And you should see the other guy:
It's pretty crazy to literally run over another car and then return the U-Haul like nothing happened.
This video prompted an important conversation. Should people be required to complete some kind of training before renting a U Haul? Think about it. You need a CDL B to drive a truck that size for living, yet anyone who has a license can rent one! Driving one of these bad boys is extremely different than driving a sedan or even an SUV. If you don't know what you are doing, you could really hurt someone or at the very least, damage someone's property. PS: I am not excluding myself! I think I would be really intimidated to drive one of these big mamas.
I'd be curious to see how many accidents occur each year in U-Hauls due to unqualified drivers.
What do you think? Should some form of testing should be required to rent a U-Haul?
