Permit me to clarify your question.
How many of you, when confronted with a dangerous situation, ie a distracted driver, agree that the appropriate response is to compound the dangerous situation by introducing one more dangerous element, ie another distracted driver, into the mix? If Harry hay hauler encroaches into my lane while opposing me on a NE 2, my reaction should be: a) Reach for the trusty Polaroid and shoot for a Pulitzer, or b) Take every step necessary to avoid Harry? There hasn't been a single reply here that didn't acknowledge your frustration with a nuisance driver; it happens to everyone of us, every single day. Your kahonies are getting kicked around because of your boneheaded reaction. Your preposterous denials have risen to the level of matcatishness.

let me ask you...have you EVER taken a sip of coffee/soda/water while driving? Have you ever snacked on anything while driving? Lit up a cigarette while driving? Tuned your radio? Reached up to grab your mic and talk on the radio? Farted? (just kidding) Went bever hunting? Daydream about getting home ro your lady friend (or guy friend?) after being out for 7 days? Wondering about how you're going to replace that lawnmower that just went out on you last week? Worry about anything personal?? Get my point? there isn't one driver on the road who can say they drive 100 and 100.
Anybody who has done anything close to what was mentioned above, is no better than a driver who snaps a couple pictures without taking his eyes off the road for but a couple seconds. If you check your mirrors, you take your eyes off the road for 5 seconds every minute....so whats the difference? you're not paying attention to whats in front of you for a second or two when you check your mirrors. every time I want to take a sip of my coffee, I pull over to do it, if it's a large cup, it can take all day to go 50 miles:clap::clap:

That attitude is the reason you are not allowed to play at the park without a parent present. Now apologize for hurting kevin with your words, even if they are true and funny as heck.

What gets me, is all you busting my balls for 'doing the same' as that TMC driver driving with an elbow and right hand, forgetting to check his mirrors but once a half hour. You say we were both distracted/not paying attention to the road. But let me ask this. I want one driver on this board, to get on here and tell me they drive with full 100% attention, 100% of the time the truck is in motion. Just one. And if anybody tells me they do, ill tell them they're full of chit. You may have both hands on the wheel, looking a mile down the road and side to side, ready for anything. But if you talk on the CB, snack on that 'big grab' bag of chips on your dash, look at a Randy McNally, scratch your balls or whatever....then guess what, you're as bad as me taking a camera out of my storage bin right over my head, turning it on and snapping a picture taking my eyes off the road for a second.
if you tune your radio, look at your wris****ch, throw something into your trash bin, adjust your seat and/or mirrors, bever hunting....there are alot of things (and you know what they are) that distract you from 100% focus on the road when you're driving. Ain't nobody on this board can tell me they have 100% attention 100% of the time I had it up until you got to the scratching part

I bet, when you complain to another driver, you just say "driver" and not the company they work for, so they wont know exactly who you're talking to.
Talk to me like that, and you'd soon change your opinion on 'balls or no balls'.
Besides, why the fixation with balls anyway? hmmm?

thinking i might join the police force. DOT probably, and run around doing nothing but pulling over truckers. =)
you'd be my first big ticket....cause i know it wouldnt take me long to find 20 things wrong with your chitbox.
Now do you care to address any of the points in my last post? Or do you just wanna play tough internet guy?
