[QUOTE="Profreedomokie, post: 3389514, member: 524"] My thoughts have been "Always Expect An Idiot". I have a philosophy I use when driving our roads. When I get anywhere near another car or truck I think " Now how can this person turn my day into a bad one?" Driving very small cars and street bikes got me thinking this way. About 6 months ago I was driving North down 14th street in Ponca . I was in my lifted Land Rover Discovery which has an ARB front bumper and electric winch. I was coming up on a string of stopped cars that were in the outside lane in front of a Quick Trip type store. I was in the inside lane. As I approached the cars , I slowed down just in case some idiot pulled out heading South. As soon as I got right by those cars a gray Mustang pulled out and then stopped across my lane. I was on the horn hoping to at least scare some sense into the driver. I barely got stopped. There wasn't any way the young girl driving the Mustang could see traffic coming from the South like me. She showed her appreciation by flipping me off as she drove away. That ARB bumper was about head high to her sitting in that car and if I had hit her with that 4500 pound truck doing the speed limit she might not have lived. [/QUOTE]
