I'm 100 miles from KC and 80 miles from Des Moines using I-35. When I get within 20 miles of either city drivers quit staying right. I call them city drivers. They stay in the left lane because in about 20 minutes they are gonna want to take a left turn exit........ Jeeezzzz,,,, anybody oughtta know that.......

And you should know when their turn is coming up. dthat's why they don't use turn signals.

Or because one person's turn signal is the other cars "speed up and don't let them in" signal.

How about the ones that dawdle along in the fast lane for a left lane exit and along comes some brave soul in the far right hand lane headed for the same exit and pulls a 'hail mary', right across ALL the lanes to get into said exit.

That's what I saw the cop do a few weeks ago, only people in the left were at least 10 over, not dawdling.

Around here it's the kids with the mustangs with the fog lights aimed up. And all the light bar junkies that wanna run the early morning with them on including a sheriffs deputy. I don't know what bothers me worse the hindrance driving or the lack of courtesy. On gps I like it trying to find places in big towns but my road is a dead end. It used to be a thru road but it was cut in half. Every year a new deputy goes on a call to the other end. My end is closer to town and Gps turns the deputies down it goin after the neighborhood thugs. About 3 times a year I go drag a deputy out of a bad spot

I have the off road lights, too. BUT when I see another vehicle in the distance coming at me or even one approaching the road I am on, off go the lights. I know mine are as illegal as sin, but I don't blind other drivers with them and they have never been mentioned in the many D.O.T. stops I have done over the past 20 or so years. I have them on top of my mirrors on the big truck, too.

When I was a kid, back in the late 70's, mud bogger trucks was the big thing. And, of course, a couple of the local mud bogger truck owners seemed to enjoy driving down the road with their bright headlights on blinding everyone coming at them trying to bait them to flash their headlights. And, if you flashed your headlights, they'd turn on their off road lights that were mounted up on their fake roll bars pretty much blinding you, forcing you to stop, then rolling by and laughing at you. Imagine their surprise when I'd flip on the two aircraft landing lights an airplane mechanic friend of mine and I installed behind the grill of my 70 Nova...

Ahh, good times... :laughing:

Using that line of thought, the auto makers might as well put a sensor in that turns the headlights/tail lights on according to some norm. Seein' how there are so many idiots that don't know when it is advisable.

Our past 4 GM vehicles had auto lights w/ a sensor on the dash

Considering the on-going emphasis to 'turn on your lights' with recommendations to have them on any time the vehicle is in motion, why not 'auto on'. Alredy have sensors that lock the doors when it begins to move, just slave the lights to that circuit also.

My lights are on before I ever get on the road.

Actually we had a elected official her in Illinois file a bill this legislative session to make it a law that you either had to have DRL or have your headlights on any time the vehicle is in motion.
