    Another thing those extra lights do is make it much easier to see the truck in front of you during a snow storm or when snow is blowing over the road. I had one about a week ago in Calgary, snow was blowing hard but the roads were okay. He had snow packed all along the tail and I mean he was invisible, I knew he there but man I hate it when it's like that.

    It's not a new thing for a diesel bear to write an incorrect ticket, knowing most will just pay instead of coming back to fight it. Arizona used to famous for the burned out chicken light ticket.

    There was a time when chickens were on the side of the road in Arizona. Now I only see them up around Tulare.
