Moronic drivers

[the old grind]

Hope that truck was not full of Kleenex. From the looks of what I'm reading here, there may be a shortage in Michigan.

Well, a lot of Hoosiers and Buckeyes do come here for farming lessons, and we try to teach them to blow their noses before we send 'em home.

Drifts were barely more than 10" or so where I went on my own today. Didn't need 4WD 'cuz ... I drive a Chevy.

Personally, I don't like the cold, my NH has no cab, and I'm almost 64, so I don't plow snow unless it's above 15^ F or so. So, maybe we aren't so tough around here. :laughing: C'mon up sometime. ... you might have to wait 'till Spring, though ... if you're not taking the bus ... (goes both ways, huh?)

Maybe the trucker was from Mississippi- we are not used to snow and ice. If he a Ms boy, he was probably in a hurry to get milk and bread.

Gee, Murph...and here I thought nobody read my posts....:laughing:

only to find out later that the cops wont do anything as they didnt see it themselves

"wont" is the wrong word; should have been "can't" do anything in such a case.

just as a nice gust of wind hits the side of the trailer

As we went north in I-35 into a strong and gusting north wind yesterday we saw a southbound 18-wheeler on its side on the right shoulder of the road just a couple off miles south of the Oklahoma border. He was also probably less than a hundred feet south of the southbound entrance ramp from the rest area. When we were coming back, the right lane was closed by wreckers, law enforcement, etc. trying to turn it back up on its wheels.

Of course I have no idea what caused him to turn over, but I wouldn't be a bit surprised to learn he was dodging someone coming onto the freeway from the rest area and/or got hit by a good gust of wind.

oh -- dont get me started on idiots on road .. please .. I see nothing but trouble all the time. When driving causally within speed limit there is always someone who wants to be a jerk.. best thing to do is let em go. road rage seems to get worse and worse every year.

Our rash of cross the center line head-on accidents continues. It's freaky how regular those accidents are occurring. It's getting so I wonder which one is coming for me, as I look at oncoming cars.

I don't think one can "accidentally" drift across the center line. People are doing something else when they should be paying attention to their driving. You can't be accidentally doing something else.

 

[murphy1244]

Who CAUSED it?

white outs and ice.

It's always easy to blame the guy in the ditch or sideways across the road ... while the instigator cruises on oblivious to what others got into trying NOT to run their bum a__ over or to get out of his/her way. (good intentions gone bad?)
