It isn't so bad. I go really slow nowadays though so if someone is going slower than me I can normally survive. I don't do a lot of driving though.
NOPE. People are too stupid, and self-centered for me to willingly give up that much control of my surroundings. I really don't like driving with (the same speed as) traffic. I would rather drive 10-15 mph faster through traffic, and I'll drop down to the same speed as traffic when there are no cars around. If there is a bunch, I want to get through it until there is an opening, and then I slow down. There are the A55HOLES!!! who I hope get what they try to give, but it seems most people are just apathetic to taking active responsibility for their two ton bullets.

I think I've done it like twice after that but I can't remember what it was for.
I had a DHL guy do that through my neighborhood about a year ago, going faster than I have ever seen anyone through here. Had to be doing over 50 in a 30. It's around a blind curve in the neighborhood, where you can't see more than 3-4 houses ahead. Then he blew through the stop sign as fast as he could make the turn. This was right as school was starting back up, and right around the time of day when they were getting home.
I went and grabbed my pistol and a knife, knowing he was going to be coming back, and then I stood in a spot where there were parked cars, and blocked the road. He came to a tire skidding stop. I started walking up to his vehicle, then pulled out the knife, (both were hidden), and as I'm yelling at him, I was going to flatten his tire right then, and he went around me and down the other road at the T-intersection he just blew through.

I should have called the cops, but I called DHL, and got a typical blow off response. I can only hope that guy got fired but I doubt it. I've called for accidents, BAD drunks, and a dog running upstream on the 6 lane highway a few weeks ago, but the usual nonsense I try to let it go as soon as its gone.

Not the little ebay/china ones, but real ones (Nathan or Leslie typically). The ones on the right are Nathan K3s and the left is the ebay/china "train horn". The real ones vibrate your soul, just look at that throat girth and diaphragm size

Didn't you still have these when I rode around with you in Tuscaloosa. lol
