    The cops will loaf in the left lane following another car doing just under the speed limit for miles while peeps stream by in the right lanes.

    Don't even get me going about high beams 24/7 or the new light bar On trend.

    People with high beams 24/7 are a real challenge here. Sometimes I can see their blue “high beam” indicator in their dash from the drivers seat of my van.

    People like that should take public transit.

    It was said that the cops in another country (I think it was China?) will make folks stare into high beams for 5min as punishment. I support this.


    I can see when I flash folks that they don't even look to see what is going on. They're just on some weird autopilot, or looking at their phone.

    after research I am doing steel not aluminum... but I also pay attention to make sure I don't become responsible for an accident with a removed crumple zone(bumper). I have a steel rear from At the Helm which was almost a direct weight swap from the stock bumper and hitch. I am looking at a SOS slimline front. Looks nice and from the guys I know who run them they are happy.

    I choose to believe demons don’t exist; people just want someone to blame other than themselves (as usual).

    Personal responsibility is a great theory until folks need to use it.

    Admitting a fail is a hard pill to swallow for sure.



    it gets easier if you fail regularly :laughing:

    I live in a small town and when there are diverging lanes it seems like there is more tolerance with allowing space for the car ahead to have room. When I travel to a large city, not so much. The most graphic experience I had was driving from Western Wyoming to Orange County CA to fix up a house. I thought for a while that I was on the set of Mad Max :) I think there must be something in the water.

    The Dallas Ft Worth metro mess is notorious for people using the one blink and cut over. I'm not sure that is any better than the screw you I'm turning or coming over in your lane. The Zipper merge is so controversial it was removed from the road rage Olympic games so let's not go there. Let's bitch about everyone who owns a F-ing vehicle who likes to NEVER turn their lights on in the fog or rain....usually a grey or black color as well. I've decided to be like most of the police I see and ignore the stupidity unless it really makes sense to hope your magazine holds more than theirs since many of the upstanding idiots carry.

    I drive 40-50k miles a year, mostly in LA traffic.

    If you are this angry about driving, you are at least half of the problem, guaranteed.

    Also, if people not saying thanks for holding a door gets your panties in a twist, stop holding doors, karen.

    OP, you'd hate driving in Philly. They take it as a sign of weakness and go into full attack mode.

    Wish they'd stay on their side of the river. One of them damn near killed me yesterday when I was trying to merge onto the highway. Sped up to block me on the ramp, nearly rear-ending the car that was in front of him, and forced me up the shoulder. Keep in mind, there was a good 4 or 5 car lengths between them when he decided I wasn't allowed in "his lane" and there was no one in the center lane for 1/4 mile.

    Man I would definitely support that. That’s pretty much what happens to me every morning, I’m staring at oncoming traffic with their high beams on, ridiculous. It’s so obvious when your high beams are on, everything in front of you is so bright and signs light up way ahead. Just blows my mind…

    Flashing folks? Haha, they have no clue at all. Not a single person switched to low beams so far for me.

    I've seen that before...That is hilarious!!!!!

    intimidation is real...funny story.... about 15 years ago, my family (wife and 3 young kids) were at an outdoor event and a group of teenagers were getting very loud and using very foul language. I walked over to them and asked them to tone it down. To be honest I expected to get a lot of slack, but to my surprise they said very little except yes sir - they seemed a bit intimidated in fact. I proudly walked back to my family, expecting my wife to praise my chivalry. She was grinning and when I asked what was so funny - she said did you notice Major was beside you? I did not. I've included a family pic from around that time...Major is in the picture, LOL. He was a SCH Trained GSD - we have another now - pic in my profile.
