    Note to the idiots who think turning on their flashers gives them a license to use it as one: not only am I not going to change lanes for you if I don't see your hood raised, I might just lay on my horn as I'm zooming by.

    Since when did the shoulder become a rest area?

    Since yesterday when somebody posted 3 threads about it.

    Hope you feel better.

    This is right up there with the transplanted Canadians that drive like there’s no tomorrow, then when you confront them, they’re first excuse is “I’m on elogs”. This is followed by the shoulder users that pull over right past the safe places to stop.

    I love the ones who pull out into oncoming traffic at the last second without any kind of warning

    I saw one with a cop behind him recently, both right on the line around a curve so you had no idea they were there until it was too late. Luckily traffic wasn't crazy so I could move over some.

    At first I thought the cop must have pulled him over there but then about 1/4 mile further was a nice big empty rest area so I figured that the cop couldn't have been that retarded.

    How do you know their sleeping ?
    Did you stop and ask them ?
    Or was it the ....DO NOT DISTURB. ...sign hanging on the door that gave them away ????

    It was the flip flops hanging from the mirror.

    How do you know what happened in the few seconds before you came upon the truck? Maybe he blew a tire and hasn't gotten out his triangles yet, or maybe he's having engine trouble. There are already enough a-holes on the road. You're acting like one of them.
