Yeah, down here in Florida, we're eat up with those idiots. If I carried enough copper BB's to flick at all the tailgaters, my back would hurt and my performance and gas mileage would suffer.

Yeah it even happens here on the North East&nbsp\\;too\\; I was riding last Sunday and I stopped at the light I always watch my rear view mirrors and I see this young kid with his GF in the car stop close to me I pull up&nbsp\\;a little, so does he and now he's closer. I check my mirrors all I can see is the hood of the car not the front bumper or the grill. Light is still red I get off my bike, walk over to the car look him straight in the face as he's still talking to his GF I say" Excuse me do I know you? or are you trying to get to know me better"? He has a dumbfounded look on his face and says "&nbsp\\;no" so I reply "then why the hell must you stop so close to me is that really necessary?" He says "duh! Sorry it must be that I was looking at your bike"! I walk away, get on my bike and the light changes end of story! Hope I scared him enough that he wont do that again to someone else! LOL. The OL says Im crazy what if he had a gun?&nbsp\\;guess I wouldn't be here writing this! Ride Safe,Bill&nbsp\\;

Ya know it seems that there are a holes everywhere, but Miami/So Fla has a concentration. I have been thinking about this, seems that the older I get (45) the dumber everyone else is, but when I was 18 or so I was a frikken genius. Think we do need to have some anti cell phone /driving laws and some eye tessting for the more experienced folks diving out there.
