    Truck speed in truck stops drives me up the wall. Slow down - the big black snake will still be there waiting for you . ..

    Amen! I almost understand flooring it on the open road in order get that extra 6 miles in a day, but I have never understood the guys racing through the parking lots. I've called 'em out on the radio before, but never get a response.

    That s one of the main reasons I walk as far away from the fuel island as possible and out in the open because of situations like this. You either have some moron about to run out of fuel, needs to use the restroom bad, or upset with the fuel desk and take their frustration out behind the wheel. I remember an incident like this at the Pilot in White Pine, TN where a driver hit a woman on the fuel island and dragged her a few hundred feet before other drivers got his attention

    Most of "those" kind of um drivers would probably pass me in the parking lot being old school that I am. I like going slow it gives me an edge

    Yes, drivers need to slow down and use a bit of caution. But the folks walking need to use caution as well. After all THEY are the ones who are going to lose in an accident. Walking across a parking lot, head down, texting or playing games on the cell, or earphones in listening to music turned up to the threshold of pain, and paying absolutely no attention to anything is just suicide.
