Driving near East Stroudsburg, and ahead of me an older couple wanted to turn left,
no signal, just stopped in the road? Two cars back was a moving box truck blocking the view.
Locked up the rear tires for about 40 feet, tried to go right, but saw a telephone pole coming up fast,
so went back to the left, luckily stopped about a foot from box truck. Plenty of tire smoke; brake stink.
It seemed the brake lights were tiny vertical lights, one on each side, (must be legal?) but hard to see.
I would think they would put two - stacked, on each side?? Took me about 15 min. to calm down.
Too much excitement for one day, I'm taking the rest of the day off!!!
Today I nearly rear ended a 12 foot U Haul! Wow!!

Well.....on the bright side at least you can afford a new seat after taking a bite out of it with the diamond made from said chunk at pucker factor 11.....
That said i hate uhauls. Whoever decided that letting some yahoo drive around in what is literally a CMV with passenger tags with only a class D was a good idea needs to be dragged out back and shot before he breedsItsbrokeagain, MOBee, Bo Hunt and 4 others Thank this. -

Yeah, i hate them because not only idiot drivers, but you can't see around them.
They're so short the cars in front are blocked from view.
You can see around 53' trailer better.
His Fifth, F-I-F-T-H, wife? and another heir. Wow.
Old Leonard had it going on.
(And I barely survived two wives.)Another Canadian driver, D.Tibbitt and buddyd157 Thank this. -
Don't worry your set of skid marks will blend in with the 100000000000000000 other sets on that stretch of road. I hated driving in that area. On ramps that are only 10 ft long on top of the astronomical amount of traffic... disaster
Tropsnart, Another Canadian driver, rolls canardly and 1 other person Thank this. -
My exit on 81 is 230 the 1st if you're coming south into pa. That exit literally has no ramp from the highway. Bam! Exit and like 100yd down hill before the stop sign. I never take that exit I'll get off exit 1 in Conklin NY and run us-11 to the yardAnother Canadian driver Thanks this. -
Cars entering 80 East from Main st. Stroudsburg have about 100 ft.
Or my all time favorite, the Rt. 80 eastbound Scotrun ON ramp,
dumping you into the hammer lane w/your green Dodge minivan doing 60,
after all the trucks just did 80 plus down the 2 mile "big hill."
Brilliant engineering designs, makes you wonder if this is population control.Itsbrokeagain, Dave1837 and Another Canadian driver Thank this. -
No more than 10 minutes worth of high pitch screaming? /sarcasm
Legal disclaimer: It's sarcasm only not a real inciting to violence.buddyd157 Thanks this.
