Right on….drive a gray truck and BURN the headlamps whenever the weather is drizzly or foggy and always well before twilight. Papa put that into our driver training when we were just kids.
Also, this business about UN-locked vehicles being “broken into” makes my brain itch.
Are people just that clueless or ignorant? Insurance companies shouldn’t have to pay for losses unless LEO can prove there was a forced entry. Lifting the handle on an UN-locked vehicle is easy pickings.
Parents who Leave their Kids in a running and open vehicle for “Only A Minute” while they run into a store should be horsewhipped in the town square….STUPID.
I’m sorry folks….
But bad driving has nothing to do with the color of the car.
I think there should be a traffic light at all these locations,or at least a flashing one(sarcasm),or maybe people just pay mind to the task at hand,Driving.
saw a county man with no lights on in the worst time this morning
NEED TO START WRITING TICKETS
Lots of people in gray/dark cars/trucks do not have their lights or their fog lights on. Please turn them on so you can be seen!
I noticed about half the people out there did not have their lights on this morning, an accident waiting to happen.
Demolition Derby
Someone should sell tickets
Ironic how all the cars involved on this very foggy morning were silver/light gray or white. These colors just always ‘blend’ in too easily with the fog on days like this. I hope to never own one this color!
