Thread: It happened again!

I have a little handbook that I have given to my kids to read while driving. I would have to go out to my truck to be sure but I think it is the one you mention.

Some truck drivers can be idiots also!

The last one I can think of that was interesting as I went by was a 1854.

As I pass that truck is it full of lawn mowers or maybe underwear..........

Fun but I am not going to look that stuff up on the net while driving.

Showing my age but but fun to keep the kids occupied turning the pages and thinking while on a long drive.

I figured that since you were able to mentally remember the numbers of what's on the truck's sign then you could look it up once you got home

I did notice that they don't have a number for bicycles etc---

Maybe extremely dirty underwear? They are hazmat numbers.

Now I have to look up the number for Lilac Veg.

Just made me recall, but not so amusing in real life: https://youtu.be/8HunISPQzm4

Forgot about that one!

There are more drivers on the roads these days, many that don't obey the law. When I would be on my Harley & the light ahead turned yellow, I immediately slow down & when I stop at the red light, I'd look over to see 3-4 cars run the light. I see people blow through a 4 way stop sign just because no one else was at the intersection & others that slow down but don't make a complete stop. Then there are the ones that have a cell phone to their head so they feel like they don't need to use turn signals. I have gone to make a left turn at the same intersection twice (4 way stop) in my truck when in the middle of the intersection, the other people take off & I've had to hit my brakes to keep from hitting them. One the driver had no headlights on & the other, they just proceeded when I was turning. Each time I was alone but the other cars always had 2 or more people in them so I think they try to cause accidents so they can say I ran the stop sign, so that they could sue, not knowing I have a dash cam. I have them on video. It's crazy these days, a concrete jungle!

Is it just me, or have drivers been getting worse? More aggressive, more entitled, more impatient, rushing through lights as they turn red, and more distracted by their phones and the electronics in their cars. I only have a seven mile drive to work, but is often stressful as I have to be on a constant lookout for some idiot doing something stupid.
