I almost ran over a Mazda 3 this morning on the way to work. The first turn on my gravel road is a T intersection with a slight curve to it so you don't have to come to a complete stop. The slight curve doesn't have a stop sign or anything but the oncoming traffic from the west has a stop sign. This mazda just blew right through the stop sign as I'm coming through the curve and almost collided with me. He was in the wrong. We both came to a sliding stop. I just about jumped out of my truck and confronted that pos. This is the second time this same car has done this to me. The first time I was in my escort though. I tried to get his plate # but it was all covered up with snow. If there is a 3rd time - I'm blocking the road and getting out of my vehicle. I just hope he's not 6'5" and 300 lbs or something.....

Yeh some peoples driving manners leave a lot to be desired. Ive seen people pass me an then turn at the next intersection. In the last year seems like people are getting more careless about there driving. Seems like people going to work in the morning brings out the worst in drivers. Whats a few minutes either way.

I hate people that do that. But it would be my luck that I would get some guy that like you said is 6'5" and of man eating proportions.

Just want to get a public thank you out to the F350 from 29 County, silver FX4 for flashing me to let me know of the cop coming up from behind. Thanks!

We waved at each other after the cop went by.

Yeah, I had -14 on mine. Awesome stuff I tell ya.

And I took a trip out to grandma's farm this weekend, though I'd share a pic with you guys.





The snow on the sides isn't plowed, they have a large snow thrower for the tractor. There is probably another 6 inches of pack under the tires. Good times.
