    I’m seeing a lot more people seemingly zoning out at red lights. It’s pretty obvious what they’re doing. They get an air horn blast.

    A few days ago I had another genius blow my doors off only to come straight across my lane to hit the exit we were both about to go by. He had his right in front of his face while steering with his elbows. :eek:

    that has to be the thing i hate the most. is the people that fly by to take the very next exit. never understood the logic behind that, it must be very painful for them to sit behind a truck for more than .23 seconds

    That requires capitulating to that which is despised and therefore shouldn’t have to be tolerated, and you know we can’t have that. :rolleyes:

    I was heading up I5 the other day south of Sacramento, and two different trucks rode my trailer hard because I wasn't going fast enough for them. When it cleared, they both blew by me. About 20 miles further along, both of them had been pulled over by two CHP about a hundred yards apart. Am I a bad person by being very pleased?

    Calgary top Edmonton is a three hour trip on a four lane divided highway( Two lanes northbound and two lanes southbound) . It's gotten closer to 80% either texting or talking without any hands free device. It's a 110 km(70mph) zone top to bottom, with about 90% running 120+kph(75 or better). In winter it almost becomes amusing to see the rally cars and high end SUVs in the ditch. The center median is fenced to keep oncoming from crossing, so most end up pretty shredded up. Over confidence, aggressive and distracted drivers pay the price. I have a mobile dvr and four cameras on my rig to help me fight for my future in case any tangle with me on their way to the junkyard. Amazon has many recording devices, I think if we all had them, some of the stupid notions four wheelers have would be dashed pretty quickly and our insurance rates could've been preserved.

    This crap is why it makes more sense to have a 2nd camera pointing out of the drivers side window of trucks, looking into passing vehicles, than having the ###### thing pointing at me.

    I have one on the bottom of each air cleaner housing pointing back, one on the dash looking out front, and one on the top of the cab looking back, the coverage is pretty good.
