    If drivers used their mirriors in truck stops, hoods wouldn't get crunched either.

    I had a good reason to watch your mirrors encounter once on Ok. I was tired, tooling along in my own little world, back in the outlaw days, when an Ok dot officer pulled among side and hit his siren.
    The first thing he ask, was didn't I ever look in my mirrors. I replied all the time. He then ask why I didn't pull over when he turned his lights on, and I told him I didn't know he did, he then ask why I hadn't been watching my mirror, and I told him I wasn't backing up. Ding ding, wrong answer, warning some dot's do not have much of a sense of humor. lol

    If that ever happens to me, my answer will be that I wanted the officer to pull alongside me so I could look down into his vehicle and see if the inside of the vehicle looks like a real law enforcement vehicle.

    Can't be too careful these days.

    I don't want them drafting me because I don't want to kill them when Bambi decides to jump in front of my truck.
