Inconsiderate drivers and tractor operators, bad mix...

[/pine]

No offense to anyone...but being a native of FL and seeing first hand the plethora of tourists from northern states and seeing how lousy their driving skills and considerations when behind the wheel...makes me laugh out loud at hearing peeps from the list of states that notoriously made the "worst drivers" list that was a running joke by FL natives...complain about lousy drivers etc...!!

I have been away from this thread but thought about it in the past few days.

We have many two lane highways that are major commuter routes as people moved farther away from work to find affordable housing. It's mayhem during rush hours with few ever obeying the speed limit. And these very roads are in BIG AG areas.

In a sense, the FARMERS don't even pay any road taxes for their tractors. Sure for their other vehicles, but the other users (the commuters) sure do. There should possibly be time restrictions on these busy roads for the biggest equipment. There should be rules as to how much traffic you can hold up.

Nawh, there were idiots behind the wheel long before that.


I think that's how NASCAR got started.

History repeats itself...

You're repeating yourself... I believe that you posted the same thing the first day of the thread, using different words. I highlighted in bold, the contradictions within your post. Granted you live in another country and probably things are different there.

Many matters are never clear cut or simple. Besides, it's what old men do. Repeat themselves!

When Government touches something, it usually wastes tax payer money and is ineffective.

ALSO, Many farmers make a terrible mess on black top, that they should pay to clean up. Truckers couldn't do that. Sorry, I just don't feel like farmers walk on water.

You do realize that somebody will now have to link that famous quote by Richard Pryor.
We all think that we are the best drivers, while everybody else in inferior. I learned long ago not to generalize, after a comment I made on another site about Massachusetts drivers was met with a link showing that they have the fewest reported accidents in the country.

Go to your closest farmer's house and visit with him about these issues. I think you might learn a few things. Especially when you talk to him about taxes. Report back how that goes.

I talk to "My" farmers all the time and those having work done at friends. Usually just listen to the latter complain. Too dry, too wet, too early, too late. I think BK is hiring, maybe that would be better.

Are they the farmers that are cluttering up your roads?
