    Out for a walk this morning before work on the secondary highway through town. It's an obvious residential zone with playground, school, houses etc, 50 km/h apart from the school/playground zone, which is 30 km/h. This Einstein comes ripping through town doing around 80-90 km/h up until the firehall, at which point he hammers the brakes and stops at the overhead sign that says something along the lines of yield to fire trucks when lights flashing. Then he just sits there.

    Bad enough he did it once but this is the second time I've seen this company do this.

    If you can't read English then stay out of driving in general. You're a hazard to everyone else.

    Couple of the guys I work with almost got t-boned by one of them a couple weeks ago. I guess a 4 foot diameter stop sign is impossible to notice, especially with the flashing red lights on it.

    On Reddit a guy posted a picture of a custom trucking driver with his left foot on the dash. I was blown away by how many saw nothing wrong with that including some so-called 25 yr drivers . Times have changed when tailgating excessive speeding watching videos etc are seen as nothing wrong.

    At least he stopped, in Detroit, the English speaking natives don’t stop for anything unless its their drinking/smoking buddy hollering at them.

    The new vulvas and crapcadias are coming out with a foot rest up on the dash. They had to remove a couple unnecessary things to make room for them, like the turn signal and dimmer switch and speedometer gauge cluster.

    Lol. Give them a few more years. Once they get settled in to the new euro cab and recover from the loss of sales due to the 389 and W900 death, they will start to offer driver comforts such as dash accessible foot rests, sandal safe non skid pedals and baby oil dispensers.
