Just yesterday I had a lady blow through a stop sign WHILE LOOKING DOWN AND TEXTING almost T-boning me.

Basically, I locked up the brakes (fortunately only going 25mph and seeing her not paying attention) just as she looked up and stopped her car - already a car length through the stop sign and mere feet away. SHE DIDN'T EVEN MAKE A FACIAL EXPRESSION AND CONTINUED ON DRIVING LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED!

Gawd I could have strangled her. . .  . . . cops need to come down on cell phone yapping and texting while driving. . . it's just insane how clueless some folks are.

i look in thier mirror
if i can see thier face they can see me
however they have to look to see you
what is it with white vans?
got hit from behind on one and run off the road on purpose by one

+1  to Pinhead, and +1 to this. I don't just look in their mirrors, I look at their eyes. I make sure they see me. If they don't, prepare to exit stage left.


It must be pretty hard to drive a car. Watch some dash cam videos, and not just the police ones. People do dumb crap for no reason.

I'd like a helmet camera just for this type of thing.

That is an inconceivably egregious transgression against my rudimentary concordance of socially shunned individuals.

1. Ride like you are invisible to everyone else, because you are.

2. Ride like the cagers are out to kill you, because they are.
