Semi truck strap binder versus human jaw

I saw a car in front of me hit something on the interstate the other day and thought it was a big snake the way it flopped when they hit it. Turned out to be a ten foot long, 3/8 log chain with heavy duty hooks on both ends. We both got lucky. Them for not getting it wrapped up under their Lexus and me for the finders/keeper's chain! I'll admit though, if it hadn't been in the right lane, I would have left it and called NCDOT to remove it. No way would I have gone more than the 5' out into that lane to get something, even when no cars were in sight in either lane. It's amazing how quick they get there from the time you see them a quarter mile or more away! :eek:
