    Wow! There's no way that fool spent 31 years in the military- he writes like a bored college student looking for a way to save the world after he realized what a mistake it was to vote for Obama.

    Guilt will do that to a man. Or a troll.

    EVERY ONE has a camera these days. I do. I'm not worried, the folks I work with have driving experience and common sense. They don't hire fools and they don't listen to fools.

    Film away camera guy, just get my good side- OK?

    lol, I'm kinda doing the same thing. I have a sport cam in my truck recording my windshield view in loop mode. Every time something interesting happens I hit a button and it saves the prev 10 mins recorded and the next 10 mins. I'm making a compilation of all the stupid stuff I see 4 wheelers do. I'm gonna edit it and set it to the benny hill theme.

    Honestly, if more drivers would do this, it would show all the suits that make the regulations what you go through, and who really is the problem out there. Its not hard to upload them and email your representatives about why we need the 4 wheelers educated about sharing the roads with the big rigs.

    probably the #1 unsafe thing I see is when a 4 wheeler passes me, say I'm doing 65 in a 70, the 4 wheeler is doing 70 passing me kinda slow and there is an impatient ### behind him. He passes and allows the proper space before pulling back in the right lane. Just as he pulls over the impatient ### riding his bumper whips into the right lane to pass then slams on the brakes and whips into the left lane. See it several times a day and it's just stupid.

    That and people I start to pass, then speed up, then slow down. I look over and they are dinking with their cell phone either dialing or texting. Now I use my cell phone every day but all I do is reach up and push a button on my headset (no more distracting than scratching my ear) then just say the name or number I want to call without ever touching my phone. I can even have text messages read to me and compose my own using voice alone without ever touching my phone. Totally hands free and no more distracting than talking to a passenger or on the cb. The 4 wheelers are the majority of the problem, they go through no where near the training we do and they are all over the place.
