Not So Bright Drivers


Yo, dummy! It is the 4th of July. Heavy police presence. Reader Boards reading, "DUI Enforcement. The Heat Is On". Informal bets among the officers as to who writes the most citations. Day by day desk warriors pissed of to be back in a Patrol car for the holiday.  Not a good time to draw attention to yourself. Speeding, tailgating, weaving in and out of traffic just draws attention to you. Even hardcore scofflaws like myself know it is time to chill.

Went to a family gathering today; about a 70 mile round trip. Light traffic moving along just over the speed limit. Knuckleheads everywhere. Po po everywhere issuing good citizen citations. Bubba, if you got a ticket today your earned it. Doesn't matter if you are stone sober, you did something to draw attention to yourself.

Lots of political discussions today. Think most of us believed this is appropriate,

Damn you, I wasn't drinking. I was trying to get around that RV and trailer. You didn't need to laugh at me when you passed. There will be payback!

I don't which is worse.....the idiots that slam on their brakes when they see flashing lights when, in fact, they're doing nothing wrong OR the ones that have to slow down just to look at the flashing lights!!

Including the ones you wrote about and my two examples, they all rate about the same on my stupid scale!

Especially if you are driving a loaded truck.

WSF: Especially if you are driving a loaded truck.

THAT brings me to my next pet peeve! People that don't know how to use on ramps!!

When I was driving truck, I neither slowed or attempted to speed up for 'em. I'd hang them right out there if they couldn't figure out how to merge!

Yep, stayed home today, and OBTW, if you DO, expect a knock on the door (ala TJIC)!

TJIC; ain't that a bitch! The sumbitches just never stop.

Worse, when you do back off to let them in, and they don't start accelerating until they are in the drive lane.
