Are other drivers killing your RV experience?

Got my DL in '58. One thing I've noticed in all these years is a lack of motor vehicle code enforcement in towns and big cities compared to number of LEO's/miles of roads back in the '50s/60s . Lot more highways and lot more drivers on the roads driving like they want. Let er' rip.
Also back then fines would dent the ol' pocket book unlike today.

I usta drive commercial trucks...

And now besides my mobile shelter moto camp appliance (aka RV rig) I rides motorsickles...

So traffic doesn't bother so much...

But I did have an unexpected incident a week 10 days ago when I had to slow down the combine I was piloting cutting wheat to let a bull moose have right of way across my path.

Yester-years drivers our age today thought the same thing about us back then.

I live on LI, NY so to go anywhere you have to deal with it. Once I'm done with the Long Island and Cross Bronx Expressways everything else is a piece of cake.

No, but RVers are killing my other driving experiences!!
Lol
Silly thread of the day...

I like how you think! And jealous of where you work!
Rock on brotha!

It's always a fun time when the other driver on an entrance ramp doesn't remember what YIELD means!! Esp when there is an 18 wheeler or double along side you!! Pretty regular occurrence even out here in the "wide open wild west"!!!!!

I think a lot of it now is that they have figured out that there is much less enforcement going on. Between mass LEO retirements and the reluctance for much contact it's the wild wild west out there again.

Just one.. he hit me while I was parked so the INsurance co said "Totaled".

Yes! We actually cancelled our trip from PA to Myrtle Beach SC because at 65 years old driving around the Baltimore and Washington outer loops scares me stiff. I know what its like just driving my 8,000 dually, they play with me like I'm a toy. Don't they respect size and mass? Pulling a 41' fifth wheel with a dually 4x4 8' bed is Xanax time, I can't stop this train on a dime! I try to maintain safe following distance to give me some room to stop......forget it. Three cars cut in front of me. I guess if I leave at midnight is best, shouldn't be too crazy at 2-4 am?

Depending on where you are in PA you may want to consider getting of I-95 and going along the coast. Takes longer but it so much more calmer and enjoyable. When heading north on I-95 from SC I get off very soon after hitting the NC state line and head to the coast.
