    @Tammy
    Thank you for pointing that out. I normally check my work but this particular day I was using my phone and was in a rush and did not proof read my material, SBT! I will do better next time.

    Mr Jackson you really need to think before you start typing just my thoughts on what you are telling the community

    Dear Mr. Jackson, I can only take sarcasm seriously when you know how to spell. How are you going to be talking about something that doesn’t make sense and use “since”

    Good job Mr Jackson. Hahaha. You brought out all the damaged ID10T’s out into the light. You’re sarcasm was crystal clear, BTW. At least to those of us with at least three brain cells left.

    Thanks to everyone who responded to my comments. My comments were purely satire and meant to be irrational and senseless and are about as irrational as the ones being made about gun control. We all know there are no assault vehicles, or AVs. And we also know the drivers are the ones that control the vehicles. Just like a gun can’t pull its trigger a vehicle can’t push the pedal. One thing to consider though, a car or truck is more apt to malfunction and cause a wreck than a gun. Oh, And Debbie I have a black truck and it looks awesome. I am not a criminal either just a grandpop that enjoys taking his grands for ice cream in the ” Big Truck”!

    Rasheed Jackson – I guess these folks cannot read the sarcasm in your comment.

    Rasheed Jackson your comment makes absolutely no sense. Do you even understand that Assault Vehicles can not operate by themselves? That they can only operate if a human is behind the wheel?

    ” And please remember it is not the person pushing the pedals fault, no it is absolutely the fault of these AVs. Just too many on the streets. They must go!!”

    I live on this road I can tell you it’s like a race track daily for cars and trucks. There is not a day that goes by I don’t see someone passing on hills with double lines. When they can’t pass they will ride so close to your bumper until they get mad because you’re doing the speed limit and go around with cars in the other lane coming directly at them, They have no value for life or the life of others. I would gladly love to have ECSO come sit in our yard and watch how many cars pass down the hill on a double line. I have been almost hit turning into our driveway because of people riding our tail or not paying attention. Then on Sundays you have the motorcycles that fly pass going well over 90 and passing on double lines as if it’s a game to them. I have even thought about taking a video and posting in hope they will see it. Maybe, they will have some sense the next time. Just saying. Yet the say watch out for motorcyclist yet they don’t watch out for others at that speed.

    I own a red car and a red pickup. I own them because they scream “ look at me, I’m red and very easy to see, don’t hit me“. It isn’t the color of the vehicle it’s the driver behind the wheel.

    I have a black car and I’m not a criminal, your statement makes no sense…..

    With all the wrecks and crashes and many times injuries and even death, I think there should be a national background check every time a person purchases a vehicle. Maybe this would curb some of the vehicular violence. It might even keep some of these dangerous vehicles off the streets. Cars should be built so that they cannot exceed the highest posted speed limits. Any speed above that is an assault waiting to happen. And why does anyone need a red car. Red just screams ” Look at me go fast”. Do not even get me started on black vehicles. Black vehicles are AVs, Assault Vehicles. You watch TV and all the bad guys ride around in black cars, or SUV, with darked out windows. Who needs a black vehicle with darked out windows? We need to get all AVs off the streets. This would definitely make our streets safer. And please remember it is not the person pushing the pedals fault, no it is absolutely the fault of these AVs. Just too many on the streets. They must go!!
    Just me for common since Vehicular control. All this vehicular violence is an embarrassment to our country.
