With all the technology available today you would think it would be safer when in fact it's only going to get worse. Too many distractions.

See it all the time. People are in a hurry to go nowhere. It's the All About Me Generation.

Until you do something to **** them off, and they go ballistic.
Don't know what's worse Potholes or ********.

At least it's not only Oklahoma, the O.L. has come close to going down all last week going to work. 1. Old guy doesn't want to wait in the off-ramp line he's in so pulls out in front of her for the other line. 2. Another guy decides to pull back onto the interstate after getting into the off-ramp lane. 3. A female looking through her brief case on the dash changes lanes. 4. A guy browsing through his laptop on top of the steering wheel changes lanes. 5. several people deciding that the car length of space in front of her is theirs and that extra 15 ft. wins.

Sounds like a close one. You've got to be watching every direction these days. That's one of the reasons I love being in Montana. Less traffic usually = less crazzies.....But that ain't necessarily so. I've seen some real idiots out here. They're everywhere! You just have to be careful.

I see it all the time, matter of fact I saw it today. One race and the gender is
twice as bad, All over my *** and my NEW Bright A$$ light. I got out of her way
and let her go. You got to try to watch out for them and seperate yourself as
far away as you can. They are everwhere......Tenn.Vol.

I was almost taken out by an old man in a Cadillac yesterday. First ride of the season, heading east on I-40 in Winston-Salem. I was riding in the left side of the fast lane. Geezer in a Caddy was yacking on his cell phone in the lane to my right at about the 2 o'clock position; I was about even with his rear door. Thankfully I was paying attention when he moved in to my lane. He never looked back and never heard my horn. About a minute later I had the opportunity to convey my thoughts on his driving skills via sign language.
