    Im annoyed at some drivers who insist on having every one of their LEDs on, including fog lights and refuse to cut them so i can know if im clear........please dont be a jerk, cut your lights back from full on bright when someone passes you, especially another truck driver that you've now blinded........same selfish drivers who pull out in front of 70 mph traffic....usually volvos or kenworths too........

    Bingo.

    In my experience, that’s where most of the current brand of stupid originates.

    I can base my idiot list in big trucks by state .
    Almost anything from Texas, Florida, California, New Jersey will be an idiot .
    More centralized will include any junky looking trash from des moines , waterloo , Minneapolis, Northern Illinois, st Louis , southeast Wisconsin and of course Lincoln Nebraska.
    That about covers it in the area i run for known morons .
    Of course I won't waste space on here for specific morons like can haulers , rock haulers and hirshbach drivers.
    Dat about it .

    You forgot those who keep the gas pedal to the floor in ohio and have to drive 70 mph no matter what, or Indiana where basically they drive like Chicago but with a little more respect, then you go Tennessee, especially around Nashville, oh don't get me started onthe amount of frustration with Nashville jerks :mad::mad: thought southerners were nice but I think Tennessee has gotten influenced by those from New Jersey and pretty much any other yankee state.....they pretty much drive the same now......oh i forget Alabama and Georgia, im not sure which is worse, Atlanta drivers or Birmingham.......smh sorry for the rant.....

    I'm of the opinion that there is now more stupidity behind the steering wheels of big trucks than cars. Too many believe that getting as close as possible to the brink of disaster without it actually happening, shows how good a driver you are. Tailgating, speeding, taking curves too fast, cutting off other drivers, distracted, etc...

    It's all because they believe they are the best, and they're gonna show the rest of us how good they are. They will even proudly boast about x years of "safe" driving, when the reality is they are just driving until they crash.

    Side note: The shoulder is not a parking place, it's for emergency breakdowns. Unless your vehicle is inoperable, or you're having a health emergency, you have no business on the shoulder.
