Mojo in the Morning Show. Thought I was almost going to get killed walking out of my garage this morning. You have like icicles? that are hanging from the top of the garage from all the ice that we've had, and as they kind of slowly melt off, you've got to hope that you're not underneath one of them at that particular time. Scares the crap out of you. Have you even looked? In downtown major cities like Detroit, they actually will tell you and close off some of the sidewalks because of some of the icicles that hang off of the buildings. we don't remember that our house our homes have them probably that are damning off of there yeah and then they come down it's like crack you know and you you hear them you know kind of melt in there but this weather is going to bring some of them because we got 50 degree weather another thing you got to be careful of mike wants to call out some truckers what what's the uh what's the
almost accident that happened to you mike oh this is you know what this is wild and i don't know if If truckers are able, maybe they can answer this, able to clean off the snow and ice from the trailer of their trucks. I don't know if that's possible. I don't know what the process is there or if it's like everybody else's car where they just drive until it flies off. But with these ice storms the last couple of days, trucks right now are the trailers have these giant sheets of ice. So when they start splitting, what's flying off is a giant sheet of ice that's like super thick. and so i'm driving uh down 96 and one of these things fly off and i try to swerve but they fly through the air and they're like a kite they just glide through the air and you try to swerve around them and that's even more dangerous and this thing smashes into my windshield and i swear it was gonna break like i was i was like this is this is gonna either dent my car or gonna break and then what do i do i mean i just call it into insurance or or i can't do anything about it i just gotta fix it at that point but it could cause a big accident and like i i don't know i can't imagine
That's got to be a hell of a job to get up on top of that thing and try to clean it off. But I wonder, because if you don't clean off the top of your car, can you get a ticket for that? Like, if you're in a regular car?
Is that reckless driving if you don't, like, properly do that? I'll be honest with you. I don't know that I clean off the top of my car all the time. I don't either. Like, I do my windshield and my hood. But I don't, I could only reach a part of my side of my car. So there is a mission. Not an excuse.
There is a snow law that's illegal for snow, ice, or slush to fall into the roadway that would impair a motorist. And that's, you know, that stands for all Michigan drivers. But it's whether or not it's going to be addressed or someone's going to pull you over is another story. I mean, I always hate when you see those people driving with the whole car covered and they just scrape one little window to look through. That's me. Like, you can't see your mirrors or behind you.
Mike, sounds like you need a dash cam.
I know, right? Right? because there's a difference between snow flying off a car and then big chunks of ice. That's going to break something eventually.
Marky, hi, you're a trucker?
Yeah.
What's happening?
Driving.
Trucker Marky on the phone with us this morning.
Obviously, it's a responsibility of yours to be having a safe operating truck. Does that include snow removal, or do you not have to worry about that?
um so in our yard we do have we it's just called a snow scraper and you like drive underneath it and like somebody has to lower it down and it it scrapes the top of your trailer off but like if
If you were to snow while you were at a truck stop or something, you don't really have those everywhere.
I want one of those devices for my car. That would be so nice. KP, you said you drove through a car wash just to get rid of the stuff off your car.
Yeah, when I almost got in the death trap car wash. That was the time I was being responsible, trying to get all the ice off, and it still didn't come out.
I wanted a scraper. Wouldn't it be great to have a scraper? Oh, actually, I do have a scraper. It's called a teenage son.
Go outside and clean off the top of my car. Yeah, because I'm not tall enough to reach the middle of my SUV. It's tall.
Pat is an attorney. Uh-oh. Who are you, Pat? Are you one of those TV attorneys that we see all the time?
No, I do criminal defense. But nevertheless, I did want to let you guys know in certain municipalities in Michigan, it is, in fact, illegal to have snow coming off your car. And I have actually seen state police pull people over on I-75 for doing so.
I wonder what the ticket is for that, just out of curiosity. Yeah, well, because when you get to the speed, the snow all catches, and the wind, and it flies off. And if you're behind it, it's like hitting a flock of geese. I mean, you could shatter a windshield with that ice and snow.
You theoretically could kill someone.
Pat, okay, I have a hypothetical just for that reason. I want to know, Pat, Mr. Attorney, if it comes off of your car, the person swerves and ends up, like, you know, killing themselves, are you guilty of manslaughter?
the uh the driver who was driving the vehicle that had the snow come off their car that caused the person behind them to then swerve and cause the next person over um to uh to essentially die in an auto accident yeah the if there was footage of the driver who caused the accident with the snow coming off their vehicle it could be held at the 3000 percent would it so it would be no No different than texting and driving.
Wow. That's amazing. So that's, you know, reason to clean off the roof of your car, Shannon.
Absolutely.
You could be charged with manslaughter. Yeah. They got to catch you, though, first.
They have to catch you, though, first. I bet you there's probably case law in Michigan. I'm actually going to look it up today that there's most definitely a case where that's happened.
I'm still lazy. I'd risk it, probably.
You guys talked about it, I think, yesterday about going and getting a car wash. But we can't do that before work. Well, I know plenty of people that wake up in the morning and go to Jack's. Well, actually, I guess we could.
We could go in the one next door and get stuck in there like KP did.
Let's not use the power washer.
Are they open 24? The one next door? Yeah.
Yeah, it's a Speedway gas station.
Mojo, you're the only person who would get a car wash before work at 4 in the morning.
I did it because I was running early that day And I almost got trapped in it, so I didn't do it. By the way, check this. We had a doctor last hour. We have an attorney this hour.
I know you're extra smart today. Who would have helped? Seriously. Love our audience.
How are you not listening to WJR right now? What's going on, Dustin?
Not much.
How you doing?
Dustin, what do you do for a living? Not too bad. How are you guys doing today?
Yeah, what do you do for a living, Dustin? We don't want to discount anybody else's occupations, but we've had a doctor and a lawyer this morning.
I am a construction worker.
Oh, whatever. All right, well, go ahead. Or do you?
What's going on? You said you're too short to reach the middle of your SUV. Yeah, that's me. Get a push broom.
Yeah, you're right. There are no excuses. You're right.
That actually is a good idea. Get a push broom or a broom for the top of your thing.
I truly didn't even think of that.
I have a thing in my car that I bought at a truck stop on the way home, like one of those nice truck stops, and it moves. It actually gets real. You pull it out. Like a selfie stick. Like a selfie stick. Yeah, like a selfie stick.
Actually, that's what I use. Is that what it is? That's what I use. I use that. I use that. You're right.
I got burned. I have a selfie stick. No, but it's cool. It makes it really long. Okay, wait. You can go across the top of the car.
I kind of want one.
I'm still lazy to do it, though. Jessica, what's going on, Jessica?
Good morning. Mike, I literally just got my car back after having my windshield exploded from an ice, a piece of ice falling off of a semi. Yeah, it actually came through the windshield on the expressway. It was terrifying. So when I made the police report, I had asked if I had pictures of the semi-truck, if they could potentially be liable. And they said, unless I had video of it actually happening, there's no way of proving that it came off of that specific truck.
Wow. So I wonder if you had eyewitnesses, if that would work, other than you, because it's just a he said, she said kind of thing.
Oh, yeah.
true but nobody else stopped so it was terrifying yeah that's all glass all over me yeah i mean you could you could have died doing yeah if you swerved i i did yeah it scared me so much yeah i did i swerved off to the shoulder and then i kind of i kept driving for a minute and then um had to get
over obviously because i had no windshield did you like i did did you see it fly through the air
and then try to swerve to avoid it in slow motion i didn't i didn't well i guess i swerved a little bit but it was um it was like slow motion yeah it was coming straight for like my hip hit right in front of my face too which was the other scary thing did you do what mike did and go no i said a few words yeah mother yeah it was scary uh derek what's happening hey what's going on guys
nothing much mike hates on truckers i just want everybody to know that he's hating on truckers
He sounds like a trucker, doesn't he?
Okay, good buddy. Do you talk on your CB like that? Hey, do you do Breaker 1-9? What's your CB call name?
old school guys. Now that we
have cell phones, you don't need to do that anymore? I think it'd still be fun.
I can't even touch that thing, man. That's a $2,700 ticket. I could lose my license for a year.
You're kidding me. If you're on your CB?
On my cell phone.
On your cell phone. So you have that bad cell phone. Wait, so how are you talking to us now?
You just use the apps to find out if there's cups?
No, no, no, no. I got you on the radio on top of the fact that I've got like a...
You know what you sound like? You sound like the DJs on the rock station next door here at the station. All right, all right. Hold on. All right, all right.
Wait, wait, wait.
You know what he's going to do. I'm going to have you walk up a song.
Do you know what that means?
Like intro a song? Will you do it for us?
I mean, I don't know about a song. You want some Hank Hill or something? I can do that.
No, no, no. No, we need you to be like 106.7 Detroit's wheels. We have the classic rock that rocks here in the Motor City. Yeah, will you do that for us?
Which one?
