    No mention of the morons in cars that cross four lanes of traffic without looking so as not to miss the exit.

    Or the ones that commit road rage because a semi can’t change lanes as quick as a passenger car.

    Many of these ambulance chasing attorneys are not going to like the fact that many companies now have or are installing cameras on equipment that should expose these crooks

    Or the ones that close an Interstate in both directions in two places 60 miles apart at the same time... oh wait.. those were TRUCK DRIVERS... If there is a target on our backs, some dumb ### truck driver put it there. I-15 is closed Eastbound between Midway and Baker, CA and has been since yesterday morning, and it took me TEN HOURS to go from Ontario to Needles today because of all the I-15 traffic on I-40 now....and it took me 4 hours to go from Victorville to Chino yesterday...and there was NOTHING but idiot truck drivers involved in either incident.

    My company is one of them.
    We started putting cameras in the trucks back in 2018.
    For accidents that weren’t our fault,we’ve been saying “WE AIN’T PAYING S***!!!” since!!!;)

    Not exactly... it's hard to care all that much that people see drivers as reckless driving yahoos, when so many among us do all that they can to reinforce that very idea.

    And yet there are so many more Class D drivers out there who have forgotten the basic driving skills.
    Realistically,there are some folks out there (Class A and D alike) that I wouldn’t trust with a tricycle because they’re likely to f*** up and cause a major accident in those too.
