    Well, first off I've seen some of these Penn dot vehicles do some stupid thing themselves.

    Secondly, today while driving 55mph through a posted 60mph construction zone I witnessed a stupid woman holding the "slow" sign dart out into traffic and give the slow down hand motions. Seriously!!!!! C'mon how stupid can you be. This act of pure stupidity almost made me want to give her the "raise the roof" signal

    I hear you but you might have a different attitude if you worked on busy roads all day, every day and had to witness all the crap you know they do. Doesn’t take long having traffic pass by 5 feet away from you, and the ones speeding excessively stand out very noticeably and they’re simply sick and tired of it.

    Well I do drive on the same roads daily, having to deal with idiot drivers cutting me off, and other stupid things. I'm sick and tired of it, but that doesn't give me the right to swerve into them, or put them into the ditch.

    I never thought about taking a screen shot of the TV with my ipad. Besides, by the time I got the case on my ipad flipped open, pressed the photo icon to open the camera function, focused on the TV, and just as I was ready to take the photo, the 30 second news item would be over!!!

    I am not that fast anymore.....I am doing good to get to the bathroom in time!!
