While driving behind a truck that carries some type of flammable liquid, I noticed the sign on the back of the truck. It read: "This vehicle not responsible for objects thrown from road." Hmmm. So the company won't take responsibility if the truck's tires kick up something that damages the car -- and possibly injures the driver -- behind it? What about if it leaks some of that flammable liquid it's transporting? Is it held accountable for that? Does the accountability go away simply by applying a sticker to the back of the truck?
They may be on to something here. If there's anything you don't want to be blamed for, just put up a sign declaring yourself blameless. Poof! The responsibility is no longer yours. Think of the possibilities. Put a sign in your yard that says you're not to blame if the neighbor's kid gets hurt by the saw you left out on your lawn. Put up another sign that says it's not your fault if your dog bites the mailman. Stick a note on your car that says you aren't responsible if your car runs a light and crashes into another car. Think that'll work?
