    The question is when working under a company and this sort of fiasco goes on, does the company fire you? Do you keep your CDL?

    Back in the 80's I had a little gadget that mounted on the dash and had three buttons, one was a ray gun one a machine gun and one a bomb. All sound effects of course, but great stress relief to just unload and shoot the S.O.B that just cut you off.

    Wish I.could find another one.sometimes.

    I remember that thing too. My brother in law had a pinto with the dukes of hazard horn, he had the choice of many different sound effects you could choose them on a keypad... lol those were the days. No cellular back then, how did we do it?

    Of course... there's an app for that...

    Just downloaded an AR 15 app. I have a mount for my cell phone on the windshield anyway so now at the touch of a button...

    Go ahead 4 wheelers, cut me off, then prepare to say hello to my little friend!

    Now the million dollar question, does that technically qualify as texting since I am tapping the phone screen?

    Dont flip the guy off when he flips you off. Blow him a kiss, that pisses him off worse than anything.

    that second video is exactly why i run a dash cam 24/7. As for the first one, well, we all know a fair percentage of these four wheelers are idiots especially in construction zones or at a merge (not saying we don't have our fair share either). he should've kept backed off or changed lanes earlier to give the dummy more room. Hammering down to get past him after the fact only inflamed the situation more. However the genius award does go to the four wheeler with that little move at the end. good way to end up road pizza.

    You think that's bad once around Des Moines I was rolling in the center lane on 80 and a 4 wheeler cuts in front of me and SLAMS on his brakes for no reason. It was a miracle I didn't hit him. People will screw with you just because they can. Welcome to trucking.

    if you think that only happens around big trucks then you're not paying attention while in your 4 wheeler. cars are so safe anymore that most people don't seem to care if they are in an accident or cause one.
     
    Pameee Thanks this.
