    All of the responsibilities with none of the benefits.

    How nice of him to "escort" them over to the shoulder. :biggrin_25517:

    Hey look a Mitsubishi built Ram 50, I thought all those rotted away years ago!

    I'm of the camp the driver didn't see the car right away as the dashcam is probably mounted a lot higher than the driver's line of sight. Probably felt the impact rather than seen it.

    Did a good job of coming to a stop.

    Not a merge failure. It's a no look lane change from an idiot who is completely oblivious to speed differential and traffic coming from the rear.

    The question is whether or not the driver of this four-wheeler actually learned something.

    Leaving the house with clean underwear doesn't matter.

    Stop at the car wash first.

    Don't forget to clench.

    Officer: No sir, it's a Toyota. I haven't seen a bug out here in years. Stopped making them 1979.
