    Dad drove a dune buggy on the street during the gas crunch in the '70s.

    He pointed out that he drove like everybody out there was trying to kill us. While pointing out that the engine and tires were the only real safety devices in the car, And if I ever got in a different small car or on a motorcycle to treat all the other drivers the same way.... Like they are trying to kill you!

    I believe a bunch of the problem drivers are the ones that feel safe in their cocoon of airbags and impact zones. They need to be put out on the street in under powered go carts for a while to develop a healthy level of paranoia.

    Then again I am of the opinion that "Life lessons should be painful, It's the only way you truly learn".

    Unfortunately I also drive the big trucks like everybody else out there is trying to kill themselves on me, I just do not want to have to do the paperwork around an incident like that.

    Those 2 just tend to be overly aggressive jerks, I can predict their actions.......

    I would put Volvo cars above both of those on the list.

    The oblivious school teacher in the Volvo is my personal nightmare.

    Don’t care what state your in. The absolute worst operated vehicles are the ones with disabled person plates.

    That said, we could get disabled plates for our vehicle, due to my wife being blind.

    I was assaulted once by a deaf lady with disabled plates. I got a gift card from my boss for not fixing her attitude. Somebody want to explain to me how it is safe/legal for a deaf person to drive, and secondly what about being deaf means you need special parking?

    It's 97. This is a direct result of mega carriers idling.
