What out for them Left Turners!
So I decided to take my bike to do a few errands before we get our early June rains. Got everything done, had a nice ride and am on my way home.
Im at a four-way intersection where myself and this lifted F friggin whatever and I both approach from opposite directions and stop at pretty much the same time. The joker doesnt have any turn indicators on nor do I so Im thinking hes going to go straight, as am I. I start of and so does Mr. Pseudo Monster Truck, but only he decides to make a left turn right in front of me! Luckily Im not the type to take off light a bat out hell otherwise Id be road kill thanks to that Crap for Brain!
I make it a point to use my turn indicators ALWAYS no matter if Im in my car, my truck or on my bike. Heck, Id even put turn indicators on my daughters tricycle and ride that if I could.
My biggest "pet peeve" are people that don't use turn indicators. Heck I'm not psychic!
Moral of the story never trust a cage
Thanks for your time and your kind attention. End of Rant.

He wasn't driving a Chrysler by any chance was he. I've noticed that lots of times those folks don't signal or honk their horn, because, after all it says "Dodge" right there on the hood plain as day!! (Disclaimer: I don't mean to offen anyone, it's a joke. I personally love Dodge trucks and will probably buy one when/if Ford & Chev cease operations, NOT), (Disclaimer #2: continued humour)

Especially if they have a cell phone in use or using the frigging text feature like a little kid.

I just got home from work in my p/u truck. I was headed east on a 4 lane US Highway. A car was going west on the service road that runs along the highway and made a U turn onto the highway right in front of me. I swerved into the left lane, thinking surely, the car would see me and stop. Wrong! The dumb *** kept turning and I had to swerve again onto the shoulder to keep from hitting her. Drunk, stoned or just too stupid to be alive, I don't know, but these idiots are out there and you better expect them to do crap like this. If you're on your bike, you better damn well expect this..... Glad he didn't hit you.

Not using turn signals, backing up on highways, sudden u-turns, cutting across 3 lanes to get to an exit, cell phones, putting on make-up while driving, reading books while driving, sudden stops for no reason.........the list goes on and on. There are a lot of friggin morons out there. Just gotta stay alert and be smart. Sometimes even that doesn't help. You can't fix STUPID!
