    Some dipwad on a Harley (no helmet of course) cut me off in the rig last weekend. Turned left in front of me. Must not have seen me, right?

    I nailed the horns once he was past me (to be safe) and he wobbled on the bike. I think it scared the #### out of him.

    Idiots...Yea, play chicken with a truck..I'm sure you'll win...

    Playing chicken with a truck is never a good idea. A friend of my hubby's got some pictures from a friend that is a state trooper down in Florida. Dude driving his little SUV while texting. Crossed the road and hit a truck head on. I only looked at the first 4 or so. That was enough. There was a disclaimer before the remaining photos as they we very graphic and not pleasant at all.

    Sadly, I looked at all those photos. I am sure the guy died instantly, but the photos were very disturbing. Why I don't heed warnings and disclaimers I will never know....

    The classroom instructor of the driving school (for auto) that my son went to for his learner's permit asked us to forward them to her so she could use them for sessions.

    There was a similar accident up here near the truck stops on 51 at the interstate where a woman went under the trailer of a rig. Turns out she had been texting instead of paying attention to where she was going. She didn't make it either.

    Get it fixed. The way it was explained to me was"the Elec Horn is the one that came from the factory & it has to work" "the Air horns are an option."
