Hum, well I am sure I have seen you around then.

 

Which reminds me of the time I got pulled over for doing 66 in a 60, about a mile after it dropped down from 65 to 60.

 

I got my first ticket last summer after seven years of driving. I swear that I didn't run that sign, still. Anyway I warn now.

 

Only other ford trucks, and older chevys, sometimes dodges.

 

I used to warn other people, but there's so many stupid people around here that go to damn fast that I just mind my own business and let them get caught. That's the only way I know to get them to slow down. I live 1/8 mile from a National Park, so there's alot of deer out at night. The speed limit is 55 mph on the Park highway. At night I do 50 mph because they jump right out in front of you before you know it. These dumbasses go 75-80 mph through there. You not only have to watch for deer, you have to watch out for stupid morons too. It's pathetic.

 

What chap's my **** driving in Plano, TX are the SOB's that:

• Ride slow (under the posted speed limit) in the left 2 lanes.
• Ride your bumper and skeet past you as you enter left turn lane.
• Change lanes abruptly (See Car-Man) with no turn signal.
• Pull across 3 of the 6 lanes (3 in each direction), blocking the left lane in both directions, so they can make a left in traffic.
• Try to make a left in rush hour traffic. (Just go down and make a "U" and come back. )
• Block the intersections when stopped at a red light.
• Sit on the rails at a rail road crossing when at a red light. (One day, I'll get to see this issue rectify itself.)
• Drive with the celly phone slapped upside their heads.
• Drive Mini vans, full size trucks, and SUV's in a manner that would make a Corvette driver blush.
• Race on public streets. (I've seen Diesel trucks racing on Parker Rd., and the Diesel Dodge was whipping the F-250's ****)
• A-holes doing 75-80 MPH in residential area, with [elementary] school zones nearby.

 

No, I warn other drivers about other drivers.

 

I do it about 25% of the time.
Where it gets hotter than a hootchy cootchy.

 

You like that don't you? Me too.

 

I didn't see that.

 

I warn them on the CB. I also warn with flashing, but only if the bears are set up in a speed reduction zone, or at the bottom of a hill. I think it just confuses too many people on the open road to use it all the time.

For some reason it just seems kind of cheep to nail people in places like that.

I have also learned to use some tact when warning on the radio when your traveling by yourself.

One time going through Ohio I was all by my lonesome with no other cars around. I passed two troopers in the median. I drove by and went around a curve. I saw another truck coming from the other direction and said.....

" Hey South bound, You got 2 queers sitting in the middle exchanging love letters just around that next curve."

His response was...

"Not any more I dont..."

I looked in my rear view mirror and saw them both coming after me.

I got a nice 45 minute "RANDOM" D.O.T. Inspection.



Lame

 

Yeah, good stuff.

We laid rubber on the Georgia asphalt.
Huh? Here in Ohio? Never heard of those.

 

Its one of the pleasures of truck driving.

You can get pulled over for no reason at all.

Commercial trucks are not considered private property and can be searched, inspected, and the drivers paper work/log book can be inspected at any time.


Im all for it, its just a pain in the ****.....

 

I just announce it over the cb I dont flash the lights, like someone else said they will just flash them back.

 

On my bike, I warn other bikes. I only do that since bikes and the people that ride them have enough to worry about. You have the fact that you can be wiped off the road by some inatentive nimrod yakking on a cell phone in a mini-van. You have zero protection save your clothing in a fall. The weather is your enemy. Most of the non-riding public doesn't care for your choice of vehicle.

Furthering these issues are:
The 5% of sportbike riders who act like retarded assclowns riding wheelies in public & stuff.
Then you have the 5% of HD/cruiser riders who believe that the louder the pipes the better the bike. They like to ride in packs either impeding the flow of traffic or intimidating all the other motorists around them.

If you see a responsible rider, chances are you won't remember that. See ONE stand-on-the-seat-wheelie or have a hog blast past you louder than a F-15E on full burner & I guarantee you'll remember that. For those reasons, I usually try to warn other riders of dangers. I see cops generating revenue with a ticket book as a danger.

4 wheels & up I do not warn.

KC-10 FE out...
