Hey Connecticut, our everything hurts

This works really well...
Weird part is I normally drive like this and learned it was an actual thing when I went to Tractor trailer safety school.
It's a shame they don't teach this in normal CDL school to get your license.
Hence why there are really bad CDL drivers.

 

I believe it was a Nissan but no mention of what happened to it. Probably the sea took it.

 

I totally forgot the pic

 

I had to teach my driving age kids about flashing head lights/high beams and what it means. They had no idea and I think there are a lot of people who don't know or if they do know, just don't care or are oblivious. It's like an unwritten non-verbal communication between you and your fellow motorist.

1. Flash lights at stop signed intersection - means the driver doing the flashing is allowing the other driver at the intersection to proceed first
2. Flash lights at oncoming traffic - means either the driver being flashed has his brights on or there is a speed trap ahead
3. Flash lights at car in front of you on highway - means the driver doing the flashing would like to pass and you should move out of the fast lane and allow him to pass

Regarding the above and people who don't understand these common courtesy communications:
I can't stand when you get to a stop sign and there is already a car stopped there coming from another direction and they still proceed to wait for you to go first but you're waiting for them to go since they were there first and that is the law. Or when you flash your lights at oncoming traffic to alert them to a speed trap and they then put their brights on to show you that they weren't on before you flashed them. Or you're already doing 80 in the fast lane and here comes a beamer or mercedes doing 120 and they flash you to move over so they can pass.

 

I like to make a gap for tractor trailers because I feel like Burt Reynolds from Smokey and the Bandit

 

My family had a 2012 Jeep Liberty that would sometimes turn the turn signal on the opposite side on... Like I turn on the right signal and the left side flashes

 

Somebody got their wires crossed

 

And watch out for the ice missles this time of year. I see it every single day. Even though it is law to clear your vehicle of snow, tons of people just don't do it. It's either laziness, lack of awareness, or just DGAF. I always am on the look out for the trucks with visible snow / ice on the roof and keep my distance. Isn't there some kind of sweep the trucks can drive under at a truck stop or somewhere to clear their roofs. As for personal vehicles, I guess it can be difficult to clear ice if you allow the snow to sit on your car for several days, melting and refreezing but all the more reason to clear it right away after the snow stops even if you aren't planning to use the car for several more days. Then there are the ones that don't even clear the side or rear windows. Just got in and put wipers on. Can't see in any direction except forward. Just dangerous. Just once I'd like to see a cop pull someone over for these crimes.

 

I see the cops pulling people over when they can...
I didn't think it actually happened but it does!

 

People nowadays just don't care anymore and are ridiculously lazy...
It's not everyone but definitely to many.
This can be seen everywhere from the people that suck at there job to the moron that stands in front of the door your trying to open.
Personally I say something about it.
Maybe if this was done by more people it would help.
Not saying it would fix it but it may help.
Trouble with this is everyone is afraid to open their mouths nowadays from a multitude of different possibilities that may happen on account of people are just crazy nowadays!
It is fun also to point and laugh at them from a distance

 

Motorcycles will always teach you how not to be the drivers you hate!

 

Good day all!

 

Or you will die basically

I want a AT35!!!!!

 

BRB moving to Europe

 

It's been renamed UNcommon sense to be more accurate in modern times

This incenses me. Don't care what you drive. Clean it off first or park it. Even if at night, part of my cleanup routine is to clean off both the trucks and drive them around the block just to warm them up. Moreso for my wife as she is still in the office plus her roof is tall and I prefer she not be doing it herself.

 

We've got that sign all over the depot. Part of the 'drive along' 'exams'.

 

Morning all

 

Morning everyone.

Happy Friday eve.

More snow...

 

Morning Connecticut
