Stopped traffic in front of me , I hit the Jake and let auto trans and engine downshift , don't really like coming to a complete stop ever, I try to time lights to the best of my ability even if it means coasting a lot slower than the ppl around me ... Ppl are in such a hurry to get to the next red light and sit and ##### and moan about how the light is red and they have to wait when they could take it slow and be much more relaxed and never come to a stop, I guess some ppl just think I'm in the way though, whatever... I always leave a lot of room in front of me if it's rush hour on the interstate, there's no point in running bumper to bumper, I get 100 cars jolting in front of me playing the hurry up and wait game while I coast along in low gear and never needing the breaks and have the lowest blood pressure in a 50 mile radius
Distracted driving, the end of the line

And fellas just always remember, if somebody hits you from behind it is automatically their fault, do not go out of ur way and potentially put urself in a bad situation to avoid getting hit from behind

Once upon a time all drivers had and paid attention to a little tool we used to use, and would hardly ever run up on any slowdown or shutdown, sadly that is a bygone era. The tool was small didn't take up hardly any room and could be mounted out of the way in any cab, many trucks even came factory with a mount and provisions.
