    The 4 wheelers in the mirrors bother me a lot less than the one in front of me going 10 mph slower than I can comfortably drive. I would much rather have them spin out behind me.

    I knew a driver who drove up until his doctor finally refused to sign his medical card, at age 79! And even after that, he taught me all of the parking lot skills needed to get my CDL, he taught me to tarp and strap correctly, and then taught me to back that truck, with a 53' trailer through an obstacle course! Lordy, I miss that man!
