    if you would not frequent Burger King so much. You know the slogan it's my way or the highway. You blowing your horn only makes it hard for the drive thru staff to hear the orders.

    Im in training to be America's Next Top Truckers Report Forum Staff associate In charge of rehabilitating the wheel holders. So they can become super productive forum posters, and knights of the highways. You standing by something don't amount much to a hill of beans. Being 5'2 ish and vertically challenged and all. You take off 6 inch stiletto's and fish net stockings I wouldn't have seen your post.

    Anyway I need to get back to monitoring the forum and handing out swift justice to these road ragging horn honkers, and vertically challenged large car posters.

    Your vote would be appreciated in next months election to make me. Dinomite America's Next top Forum Staff Associate. Thank you thank you very much.

    Hi Giggles, that's true, any time there was a stopped lane of traffic, and mine was moving, I always backed out of it, as someone would usually go for it. I too have been known to "pull the chain" more than once. Matter of fact, on my old Pete, I extended the chain so it was right next to the steering wheel, so I wouldn't waste that 1/4 of a second reaching for it. I do, however, draw the line at these O/O's that mount those train horns on their truck. That could indeed scare a 4 wheeler into doing something even more unsafe.

    Knucklehead, if you don't mind me asking, what dash cam do you have? I drive almost exclusively at night and your video clarity if fantastic compared to some of the dash cams I have researched. Thanks!

    It's a Garmin. They make one with GPS that shows your speed too but it's 100 bucks more... This one works just fine.
