    I do my absolute best to keep my cool because my 2017 Pete with almost 700,000 miles is outfitted with a Lytx camera that will go off over just about anything I do. But I will agree it is beyond frustrating being held to such high standards while other people(mostly grain haulers and guys with funny hats from north of the border)just do whatever they want with complete disregard to public safety and traffic laws.

    Once you get enough time in find a good local job that pays hourly and overtime. The more people cut you off, especially in bumper to bumper traffic, the more you make. :thumbup:

    That's funny. I do the exact same thing. Ice cream always turns a #### day into a decent one.

    I used too flip it off all the time. The thing would start flashing that blue light when i felt something was wrong. Heck, i ate a SubWay
    sandwich with both hands, and steered with me Knee`s. Heck, i did that for a Long ,Long,TIme.
