If there is a fast driver scaring/endangering you, do you want him on your bumper right behind you for 20 miles?
Or several miles down the road in front of you?
Cause not matter what you do YOU can't change his behavior. But YOU can change yours.
Well maybe many of us, combined, can change his/their behavior. If we keep enabling them - yes indeed they'll never change.
If the speed demons find themselves "on enough bumpers" every time they're on the road - maybe they'll begin to get the message eventually.
Me changing my behavior will make it safer for me. A speed demon changing their behavior will make it safer for everyone.
Nothings going to change.
Yesterday morning........
4 degrees at 7:00 AM, a quick snowshot off the lake which totally coated the roads, hit the Penndot previously applied brine auto destroyer, then melted and froze into solid ice instantly. I was doing 35 in the right lane as was most everyone and some impatient woman came tooling up from behind in a nice new Burb. Rode my bumper for about 2 miles then cut into the fast lane and took off, gave me a terminal stare on the way past, and had to get up to at least 70 mph, tail lights out of sight.
About 4 miles further up the highway there she was. Lost it and clipped a car she was passing. She bounced off the guardrail to the right where the car she clipped ended up, then did at least 4 180's across all 4 lanes, two of which were opposing traffic, and ended up against the brick planters in front of a Diner on the other side facing the wrong direction. If I would of had time I might have stopped to laugh at her. As it was all I could do was blow the horn and wave wildly out the window in my 2WD Kia Soul with low profile wide tires which are about worthless on this **** as I drove past.
Now I know why Tigers eat their young...Rodney Dangerfield.
