    That's nice.

    And what does that have to do with anything in this thread?


    Get some perspective!

    That
    Thats his way of saying that he doesn’t think an old fashioned whooping is going to be easy to administer and he has more respect in spite of his faults to deem that the best way of correcting or curbing the behavior he doesn’t like.

    An old fashioned spanking might be (well, is) effective in the younger years for certain behaviors, but I doubt it would be effective on a grown man (or woman) that is already driving.

    Are you really under the impression that I am talking about spanking like one might spank a child?

    If they do it in their personal, why wouldn't they do it in a larger vehicle? That's the mindset of the hiring folks.

    That's a chicken #### citation most of the time. Too late now but u might have tried to fight that that one.

    When I was in a C.M.V., I got rid of Tail Gaiting Twits with SPEED DECREASE - - sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly, yet effect was the same, bum muffin moved around, as well adding their silent single digit response and/or cutting me off and/or speeding away, as well with the usual negative chatter on the clamour Box.
    Flat Land Passing, not ascents or descents, but scents none the less.

    I rarely need to apply a reduced speed to get rid of a tail gaiting Personal Vehicle annoyance.:cool:

    I had a chance to ask a State cop I know and he told me most of the time when he writes following too close it is in addition to an accident report. He told me about a situation several years ago where he nailed a Marten Driver after a fatality accident on I-95. Following too close along with some other issues. I wonder if that driver ever operated a CMV ever again.

    I think they were driving down 81 today. Truck was all over the place but I was afraid to try and pass. Not sure if it was because they might hit me as I did or that I might not be shocked to see 3 monkeys in controll!
