    Big PITA what's worse is these intersections don't get fixed until enough deaths happen.

    I would accept the surprises if doing so would reduce the idiots that sit & wait for you to get close AND THEN PULL OUT IN FRONT OF YOU. Remember kids, no matter how close that truck is, there's always time to play Angry Birds, text, oder from Amazon, and then pull out into traffic in front of him.

    At least that is a smaller road. There's an excuse.

    What burns me up is some of the PA interstate access ramps. 200 feet or less of acceleration lane before you must merge with traffic. Idiocy.

    Or not wait. FedEx missed his exit and decided to do a u-turn on I-94. Other than the grey dog just behind me there wasn't a set of visible headlights in my mirror.

    At least that guy gave himself a few truck lengths before turning into your lane. I'm amazed by the number of folks who turn in just as their trailer passes my bumper.
