Then I’m just grateful when I arrive and have been proven wrong.Tom Williamshttp://www.rvingfulltimewithtomandella.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205527982714514361.post-19482556885639361442013-02-11T16:53:43.101-07:002013-02-11T16:53:43.101-07:00What can you do?

Excess speed is a huge problem every where and it is 10x worse near population centers. Our society is in a hurry with everything they do. I just love it when someone races past me like I'm sittin still and then there they are at the red light waiting for me. Ha Ha. What is the scariest is the joker behind me when I'm going 55 what's he doing? Nobody wants to be behind a rig of any kind. My biggest petpeeve is talking on cell phone while driving. I guess they figure the laws don't apply to them.Rk and Cookiechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13653971980846844929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205527982714514361.post-73561967929985884682013-02-11T08:22:01.128-07:002013-02-11T08:22:01.128-07:00Well said my friend.

My pet peeve is the driver who decides he just has to get ahead of me (in the safe distance I have thoughtfully provided between me and the vehicle in front of me), slams on his brakes (to keep from rearending the vehicle in front), and takes a right turn on two wheels. As I am fouling the air and checking to be sure something isn't gonna come up my tailpipes, I see a beautiful empty highway stretching for a mile behind me!!!!<br />Explain that one to me. Geeze what an idiot.<br />Be safe, because I am beginning to believe that there are more of "them" than "us" out on the highways.Sharlottenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205527982714514361.post-25769210761488413802013-02-11T07:04:43.801-07:002013-02-11T07:04:43.801-07:00Brian,

So I think I've seen alot of those nutso drivers do most all you mentioned. And almost got wrecked by a deer a time or two.. This sermon will be needed about 2 or 3 times a year at least.

Yep, seen them all avoided most for the past 55 of sharing our roads. If it wasn't so serious I would have laughed out loud at this one. All the right things Brian, lets hope that the rest of us rolling road blocks see themselves and kick in A LITTLE OF THE GRAY MATTER WE HAVE LEFT.MXOldtimernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205527982714514361.post-66583753502073456112013-02-10T10:55:18.066-07:002013-02-10T10:55:18.066-07:00#3 is a BIG pet peeve of mine, too.

Bad enough someone taking a quick sharp turn when they realize "that's the street!", but to do it ACROSS lanes of travel is just...stupid!! <br /><br />And don't get my husband started on this. After driving trucks for 25+ years (Class A in the past and currently Class B), he says he has seen it all,that some of the yahoos (as he likes to call them) out there should not have ever been given a license because they don't have any common Sense!lostAnnfoundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17468687819799318641noreply@blogger.com
