    Well I have them on both sides of mine and use them all the tome to check my blind spots I dont think they are ugly. You want to see ugly ride around and see some of the junk some truck drivers have put on their truck or trailer

    Again, who told you or anybody that you HAVE to use these mirrors?? If you dont like the flippin" things, then good for you. Nobody's tryin to force you to use them. But on that note, If you wanna whine about somebody supposedly telling you to use something you dont like, then take your own perceived advice and dont rip on somebody who likes usin them.

    All it takes is for someone to screw it up for the rest of us..... If people wouldnt blatenly do crap like that in a sence of trying to get caught, no one know as easy.

    Rugby players and Footbal players use fender mirrors?? Um, ookay.

    Yeah, and I bet you weld steel without a welding helmet, huh? You're eyes can kick that bright weldin arc's butt, hmmm?

    Or you could have a career ending injury that you may have to live with the rest of your life, or not even continue to have the luxury to live at all.

    LOL!!!! On that note, what do we need the truck for?? Hell, just gimmie a rope and a team of clydesdales and I'll pull the trailer with them!

    So what do you need the horses for? With your super powers you should be able to just take the rope in your teeth and pull the #### thing. Let those poor horses enjoy themselves!:biggrin_2559:

    Your honor exibit A:
    I'm not picking on johnday personally, it's just that mindset that pushes stuff like this on everyone else. You know that stupid mirror on the top of the passenger door that no one uses? Someone thought that should be mandatory also, probably saved him from something so he pushed it on everyone else.

    Personally I think everyone should wear as much safety equipment as they can. I'm going to push for kevlar suits, helmets, no radios of any kind safety glasses in case the helmet visor fails and everyone should have a spotter run in front of the truck at all times so they NEVER hit anything. And if any of you don't like it too bad, I feel it's a good idea it makes me feel warm and fuzzy and that's all that matters, we need more laws!!


    You can't be serious? The example was to show the false sense of security people get when they have "safety equipment". The more they have the more careless they get.

    True, I could just use my superhero power to make my loads appear at their destination in the blink of an eye. Think of the money I would make.

    Weeeell, whether someone "feels" somethin should be required by law or mandatory in any way still doesnt and shouldnt be taken as if "you're bein told to use it" Unless the law or some sort of authority TELLS you to do something. This is all just a matter of an exchange of opinions and some people will try harder than others to get you to see their side of the spectrum from their vantage point that it seems like they are tellin you what to do.

    You cant be serious, can you? Gettin a point accross is one thing, but to go to this great of lengths bein sarcastic to prove a point pretty much blows whatever point you were attempting to make clean outta the water.

    Im sorry thats your views on that but I like my saftey equipment. I dont get "####y" in a sence because I have something protecting me. Well, maybe a little. I mean, I did get a little more brave at goin into burning buildings as a firefighter with all that saftey equipment that prevented me from becoming a crispy critter.

    I take it yer not a fan of horses......
