Unfortunately lots of idiots on the road today!

These are my videos, I personally experienced! Note this is a very wide angle lense (fish eye), so "objects appear farther away" than normal '

Makes a left turn in front of me, he had multiple signs saying no left turn, do not enter, he was trying to go up the exit ramp the wrong way!

This is the intersection looking the opposite way, taken from where he was before he pulled in front of me, I was where the orange truck is, circled in blue!

Here's one while waiting patiently to get into a truck stop, idiot passed on a double yellow going the wrong way, then I have to chase him down on foot as he gets stopped at a traffic light, (hit & run!) he then denied hitting me, refused to share paperwork with me, I called the sheriff!

This one just happened Sunday! We have sensors, camera's, and front radar so we can't get to close to anything, the anti collision system WILL slam on our brakes and cut out fuel if it thinks we will crash, so we can't wait till the last sec to get in the left lane, many people don't understand this, and insist on passing me on the right then cutting in front of me, this idiot cut it a bit close, If I hadn't served and braked, he would have tore off my fender!

I'll be glad when I retire in 31 months, hang up my keys, close and lock my gate, and stay home!
I do hear about a large amount of a certain kind of folk that have infiltrated the trucking industry now for several years.

I am told they are quite dangerous, very distracted, and change company names more often than underwear.

It's not just foreigners driving trucks that don't know the rules of the road, or even the language! (That was just three in one year that I bothered to down load off my camera!) But four wheelers as we call them seem so distracted while driving ... I have to take drastic evasive action most every day to avoid them scratching my paint!

I'll be glad to be able to "tractor" as much as I like once I retire, now I'm just doing what "must be done" since I acquired this neglected property, at least the land wasn't taken care of, very over grown, house was built in 1997 ...

Once I get a mower for this new tractor I'll have more time for house renovations, even though I'd rather "tractor" than work on the house, I'm too cheap to pay someone to do something I can do myself ... I'll pay someone to do my quartz or marble countertops though.
