Wow - that's wobbly!!

[kmcrosby78]

Was on my way back on the Pacific Highway from the Gold Coast (to pick up an outdoor setting and not for fishing unfortunately .....) and noticed a boat being towed up ahead that was wobbling all over the place. I know nothing about what causes this and whether it was 'speed wobbles' or whatever but it certainly didn't look good. I immediately moved to the far right lane because I really thought something terrible was about to unfold and was then amazed that another vehicle sat about 30m behind it for at least a couple of minutes - how??? As I passed the tow vehicle the guy appeared to be looking backwards in the rear-view mirror monitoring the situation so I don't know if it always does it or there was just some fault today, but I'd feel much safer if he wasn't on the road ........

Some people on the road just seem oblivious to these sorts of things!  Good to be on the ball as a boat flying off at that sort of speed would certainly do some damage!

Dodgy as!

Speak for yourself James, apparently you tie fg knots while driving! Bloody P platers.

Hahaha if only!!!  It would definitely be quite a skill if I could do that!  

Edit:  I just realised that I usually hook the line around my feet too.  That would make it doubly impressive... no hands or feet

Usual cause of this is too much weight in the stern or maybe the wheels set too far forward.
