    Great I thought with the name home for christmas and asking about highway safety it was gonna be about ACTUAL highway safety. :biggrin_25510:

    Now while the pink elephant remains elusive.... the orange elephant is real nice guy, once you get to know him. :biggrin_2559:

    I'm more worried about the steering wheel holders that shouldnt be driving a car, let alone a truck, running into me than UFOs.... Although, I have seen some "things" driving trucks that may not be human...

    I think the scarier stories would be about people looking at facebook and texting while they're "driving"

    The story goes that there was a rookie and an older driver runnin across 80, the rookie was drivin. He ask the old man if it was clear to get back over. The old man told just a big grey dog, then go. We the rookie thought he was kiddin round and started over only to hear air brakes and metal crumpling. They all got stopped and the ask the old man what this, his reply as they walked around the Greyhound bus was this is the big grey dog......

    No kidding...my first trainer was that way. He would prop his left leg up on the dash once he was up to speed and then use his hands to type on FB and steer with his knee. I got off that truck real quick!!! Reported to safety but nothing happened
