I had some ahole fly across the road in front of me this weekend and I was the closest I think Ive ever been to being dead. I missed him by inches. they came out of nowhere. I guess when your time is up it's up. I do know I would have liked to chase them down and put my size 13 firmly where the sun don't shine.

The **** thing about that is, then you'd be the one that gets in trouble. Just be thankful the shiny side is still up.

I had a lady in a Yukon (on the phone) change lanes and sideswipe me on the right side.
Broke my footpeg shifter arm and mirror. Luckily my foot ran upon her running board and didnt get hurt. we pulled over and she was crying how she never saw me and look at the damage on her truck.
Beeotch filed a claim against my insurance. I should have did what my first instinct was but I was taught to not hit a woman.

Just returned from a trip with my son to the Smoky Mountains. We had on two separate occasions on the return trip where a car had drifted over without looking over their shoulder when changing lanes and almost ran into my son in his lane as I was following. My son was quick to respond an get out of the way, I was quick to get up to the drivers window and motion what they had done and pointed to them to use the mirrors. Both reacted as they didn't see us. Maybe not see us OK but hell you cant help but hear us. I am running reinharts TD's with a pretty good size cam that makes these bark on the road. When I jumped on it to get up to them they heard me then, I guarantee it!!
Always always always watch around you as we all know!!!!!

Simple reason for all this happening is that drivers are not looking where they are going. The only thing we can do is stay alert and constantly be looking in all directions.
