Some drivers shouldn't allowed behind the wheel
Oldest daughter came to visit and we decided to visit Mrs Chiefs grave and take some flowers. I've been there a few times since her internment. Anyway it is a little bit of a drive and mostly on two-lane winding back roads.
Maybe passed one or two vehicles in one stretch then in a 55 mph zone I see a smallish older pick-up slowing to make a turn from the opposite direction and thought nothing of it until the idiot didn't stop and was just moving at a crawl and pulled right out in front of me to make his turn.
So I slammed on the brakes (they work good) and stupid just kept on puttering and I laid on the horn for a few seconds, what an IDIOT he must of have been totally inattentive/drunk/on drugs or something. Hard to miss a big white SUV right in front of your turn coming from the other way........nothing behind me and looked like he was headed to one of the few houses down that short street.
Anyway, fer a second I thought I might be joining Mrs Chief. Man talk about getting the ole HR up a bit fer a spell.....................

It's only true if it's on this forum where opinions are facts and facts are opinions

I see people every day that shouldn't be allowed in civil society, and that's excluding people the do dangerous things because of distraction or ignorance.
Glad you and your oldest are safe.

What "Kills" me in this instance and many similar ones over the years where folks have pulled out in front of me is there wasn't a cotton pickin thing behind me, zilch... notta. Not like dense city traffic where if they didn't try to get out they would be stuck there for a while until the next chance.
Also, I have seen them time and time again be at a stop sign/coming from a side-road from way back and they wait and wait then putter out right in front of you after sitting there like they are gonna wait, then they decide at the last minute they can "Make it" Like they lost all concept of a moving object coming at them and them being at a standstill and what it would take to keep the two apart.
On trick is on a 4 lane road they pull out in front of you, but to be nice or safe or whatever they think they are doing, they jump to the outer lane thinking they did you a favor, problem is I have had to jump back into the inner lane before because I changed lanes to avoid crashing into them thus they are creating a dangerous situation because they don't know what the other driver may do trying to miss them.
Anyway, drive safely guys, you never know what's around the corner, as they say. :driving: :driving:
