  1. Another question from the college roadtrip days:

    Is carrying a keg across state lines technically bootlegging?

     

    In Georgia, it is...

     

    That's why you can't mail order wine and such from out of state.

     

    It's doubtful any road officer is going to be concerned with that though, unless you are doing on a large scale.

  2. Back to the original post.....you wouldn't confiscate his keg and keep it for evidence?

     

     

     

    Guess you can't read either, huh?

     

    Now unless you were dui and I suspected that you were testing the beer while driving down the road, I wouldn't screw with ya .

     

  3. The answer depends on the police budget. If the police or sheriff's dept needs more revenue, the captain insists that the flunkies write even more folks up for every little violation imaginable (even if they have to make things up). More tickets mean more revenue. Didn't you know that if a cop won't wite tickets, then according to the captain, he's obviously not doing his job?

     

     

    Dude, your ignorance abounds.

     

    The police and sheriff don't get revenue from writing tickets.

     

    The sheriff's department gets a given amount of money for their department based on what the population of the county is (state law)

    and possibly more, if the county commission gives them some of the county budget.

     

    The police get their money from the county and or city counsel.

     

    The police or sheriff's dept writing 5000 more tickets a month doesn't gain them a single dime more than if they wrote 5 tickets a month.

     

    You have some of the most ignorant posts of anyone I've evern seen.

    You hate cops and spout garbage simply because of your hatred. You haven't a clue as to how their operations work.

  4. nitro,

     

    i do not want to get in a heated conversation, but i do know the laws and know he did not go from STOP to faster than the speed limit during the turn. It doesn't matter. I think all left turns should have a turn light therefore there would not be any accidents. and how can you turn in front of someone that wasn't visible? You make it seam like he intentionally tried to beat him. Well he stopped, looked and then made the turn. The cycle came over the hill and he apparantly did not see the truck as well. Again, its over, its done and we should all be more careful. Bikers and vehicles.

     

     

    Yeah, you don't want to get in to a heated conversation because you make accusations that aren't true and

    then get your ass handed to you when you get called on it.

     

    Apparently, you don't know the laws, because what you stated is completely opposite of what the law is.

     

    I NEVER said he went from stop to faster than the speed limit during the turn. See, you can't even follow a conversation.

    I NEVER said the guy was speeding. YOU threw out a scenario and I asked you a question from it.

    Then YOU got bent out of shape because the scenario YOU threw out was irrelevant to the situation.

    You're right, it doesn't matter... So, why did you bring it up in the first place?

     

    All left turns should have turn lights and that would eliminate accidents? Showing your ignorance again, I see.

    No, sorry, it wouldn't. Having a leader light won't make people pay attention.

    I've seen plenty of people run through leader lights because they simply don't pay attention (which, again, was part of my original post).

     

    How can you turn in front of someone that wasn't visible? Are you SERIOUSLY asking me that?

    "Wasn't visible" means that you didn't see them, right? So, you can't turn in front of someone you don't see?

    Do you have any comprehension of what "visible" means?

     

    I make it seem like he was intentionally trying to beat him? Please, quote ANYTHING that I've said that show that.

    I have said over and over, that I do not know what happened and I didn't cast judgment on EITHER party.

    No, you're mad because you got your ass handed to you by all these stupid and ignorant comments you've been making.

    You're trying to hang me out to dry and you're making up stuff that I haven't said. Again, you're showing your ass.

    I said absolutely NOTHING that said he was trying to intentionally beat him.

    What I did say, was that if the truck was in the middle of a left turn, and the motorcycle hit the truck, the truck is at fault.

    I'm sorry you don't agree with that, but THAT is the LAW. The truck failed to yield right of way while making a turn (again, *IF* that is what happened).

    ...and by your own statement in the previous post, that is what happened. Your just too ignorant of the law to realize it.

    Apparently, you know this guy (as you stated previously) and you're not willing to admit he was at fault (if he was, again only going by what's been said here).

    It doesn't matter if the bike saw the truck. If the truck was turning left and both vehicles had a green light, the truck was at fault, period.

     

    Ya know, you're the type of person that I was referring to previously, about the attitude.

    You got all bent out of shape in this thread... over something that I never said.

    You gave an example and then got PO'd that you were still wrong.

    Yeah, that's the attitude that shouldn't be behind the wheel of an automobile.

    Grow up and loose the attitude...

  5. Nitro,

     

    I was be sarcastic when I said he was in a hurry to go and cut grass...Geeeezzzzzzzzzzzz... and unless you were there (and we both know you weren't) he was not driving reckless or speeding. that was about the stupidest comment ever. How do you speed from a dead stop????? with a trailer on the back of the truck??? Have u seen the truck??? The complete rear panel is caved in... How could it possibly be his fault when he was 3/4 through the light. The motorcycle did not even attempt to stop. Explain that Lucy. Attitude? you haven't a clue

     

     

    Oh, so because I wasn't there, he wasn't driving wreckless?

    #1, I NEVER said he was driving reckless. YOU are the one that said he was in a hurry to cut the grass at church, not me.

    I simply asked if that made it ok for him to drive reckless, in the scenario that YOU put out there. I didn't cast blame, I asked a question.

    Not once did I accuse the driver of the truck of any wrong doing, nor did I accuse the motorcyclist of any wrong doing.

    Your right, it was the "stupidest" (which, BTW, isn't a word) comment you've ever seen. You're the one who came up with the scenario, not me.

    You see, I don't blame people for something unless I know the facts.

    I don't know the facts of the accident... so, therefore I didn't cast any judgment on EITHER party.

    I believe I even said

    Is that a valid reason to drive wreckless and or speed (If that is what happened... I don't know, just going by what has been said here).

     

     

    How do I speed from a dead stop? It's REAL easy. With a trailer on the back? Yeah. Do you know what horsepower and torque are?

    The more you have the quicker you can accelerate. It's REAL easy for a large truck in the 1500 or 2500 size range with a big block or diesel engine

    to accelerate faster than the speed limit.... yes, even towing a trailer.

    If you think a pickup truck can't accelerate to the speed limit or above before exiting an intersection, you are really showing your ignorance.

     

    No, I haven't seen the truck. The complete rear panel is caved in? You mean the dead rear? How is that possible if he was towing a trailer?

    Do you mean the rear quarter sides of the truck? Guess what, if the rear quarter side of the truck is damaged and the HE was the one turning,

    it's a good possibility that the driver of the truck is at fault. Unless the motorcyclist ran a stop sign or red light, the truck driver is at fault, period.

    How can he be at fault when he was 3/4 way through the light? Well let me educate you on driving laws.

    If you turn in front of someone, it doesn't matter how far you are through the light. If the oncoming traffic hits you, YOU are at fault.

    There is your explanation... And really, if you didn't know that, you shouldn't be driving.

     

    Learn how the rules of the road work before you go putting blabbering out garbage like you just did.

     

    Oh, and BTW, how exactly do you know the motorcycle didn't try to stop? Where you there? I don't think you were since your first post in this thread was

    who was at fault?

     

    The only thing that I said to you was to let's tell the "cage" drivers what their responsibilities are, when you gave your spill about what motorcyclists should do.

    The facts are, MOST motorcycle accidents that involve two or more vehicles are, in most cases, NOT the fault of the motorcyclist.

    And in fact, MOST of the motorcycle accidents are caused by drivers turning left in front of them... (which, even though you think otherwise, is not the fault of the motorcyclist.

    That's the ONLY thing I've said until you started coming up with speculative scenarios. Then you're ignorant enough to chastise me for commenting on a scenario that YOU came up with.

    And I'm the one that doesn't have a clue? Yeah, ok.

  6. OC is legal in Ga.I don`t see any problem.I used to do it all of the time,now i just hide it to not scare people.

     

    HB.

     

     

    Let's clarify that because there are a LOT of people who misunderstand the law.

     

    Open carry is legal ONLY if you have a firearms license.

     

    The license you get at the Probate office is NOT a concealed carry permit, it is a firearms license.

     

    If you do not possess a firearms license, you may not carry open or concealed on your person.

    The license does allow for concealed carry, but it's not strictly a concealed carry license.

     

    Without a license, you may have it in plain view in your car, unloaded and separated from the ammo.

     

    You may also carry it loaded, in your glove box. Anywhere else in the car, without a firearms permit, it

    must not be loaded or have the ammo within reach.

    The only time the ammo must not be separated is if it's in a locked container.

  7. You are correct - you didn't say that and I didn't mean to imply that you did. I was just pointing out that it is not always the drivers in the car's fault. Oh, and BTW - my DH calls people like the guy we saw "Statistics" - because if they continue to drive like that guy, they will end up as a bloody spot on a street somewhere....

     

    Didn't mean to attack you - or anyone else on here - it just reminded me of that day and I was ticked the entire day because of that guy and just couldn't seem to shake it off.

     

     

    No problem... and yes, I agree with your husband. And like I said, I have no sympathy for these twits that pull crap like that.

    It makes us all (motorcyclists) look bad.

     

    I'm glad you reported it. Whether or not the dispatcher cared, you can't help, but you did your duty and for that I applaud you.

    Who knows, you may save someones life down the road by doing that.

    It might not be the rider who's acting the fool, but it might be the mother in her mini-van with her 4 children that people like

    this might hit, that you save...

     

    I would do the same thing. There is a 'botherhood' type of feeling between motorcylists, but it sure won't

    keep me from calling someone out or reporting them if they are doing something that can get some innocent person hurt or killed.

     

     

    Not that I would give it an excuse, but it's not illegal in all states to split lanes.

    I don't know where this guy you saw was from... maybe he was from a legal lane splitting state.

    But, like I said, that's no excuse.

    Legal or not, there's no way in heck that I'd ever do it.

    It's just too dangerous and risky.

     

     

    As far as opening your door on someone that is lane splitting, like TOW said, he wouldn't cite you for it.

    However, some officers would, especially if they thought you did it intentionally.

    If I were an officer (which I'm not), I doubt I would write a citation for that either...but I think technically,

    you could get in some serious trouble for it... But just for some friendly advice, I suggest you just think about how funny

    it would be to do and just leave it at that, because all officers won't be as accomodating as TOW.

  8. It just ticks me off when this thread started out as concern for the rider of the motorcycle and everyone wants to jump in and speculate and assume this and that and the only two people who REALLY know what happened are the rider of cycle and the driver of the truck. There may be a reason for no brake marks on the part of the cyclist- [/beither way this was a very tragic event for both families involved - lives have been changed on both sides and it just seems that well anyway............................... both families need prayers.

     

     

    Yeah, maybe he was riding and braking like he was supposed to be doing.

    Motorcycles don't leave tire tracks when skidding all the time, like many cars do.

     

    Motorcycles have a MASSIVE weight transfer when the brakes are applied.

    When that weight transfer happens, the rear tire gets light and locks up very easily.

    The same reason it locks up is the same reason it rarely leaves tire tracks....

    It's simply gliding... it doesn't have enough weight on the rear wheel to leave skid marks.

     

    As far as speculation goes... what else do you expect here?

    This is the biggest freakin' gossip house I've ever seen.

    People condemn others and judge others based off what they see here or read in the paper.

    It's absolutely amazing to me how many people jump to conclusions, blame someone, and condemn them

    before they know the truth of the matter.

    These same people will claim to be patriotic and stand up for our soldiers and such,

    yet don't apparently believe in the "innocent until proven guilty" meaning of what your armed forces fight for... yeah, real patriotic.

  9. Nitro,

     

    Just to let you the driver of the truck was in a REAL big hurry to cut grass at his church. I am sure he had lots of other things on his mind. Whatever.... Maybe the motorcyclist wasin a hurry to get to work???? We will never know..... Where do you teach the class? I really do think it is a good thing for everyone to have. A safety course should be mandatory. Thanks for your input

     

     

    I haven't taught anywhere in the last year because of some things that have kept me away.

     

    In the past, I've taught at Jefferson High School in Commerce.

    I've taught mostly at the American Honda Riding Course in Alpharetta,

    and I've got one year (assisted head coach) at the one at North Metro.

     

    But anyways, it doesn't matter what he truck drivers excuse was... He was in a hurry to cut the grass at church?

    Is that a valid reason to drive wreckless and or speed (If that is what happened... I don't know, just going by what has been said here).

     

    If you stop and think about it, there really is no such thing as an "accident".

    They may not be intentional, but they darn well could be avoided if people payed attention to their driving, slowing down, and lose the attitude.

  10. HMMM - what about the idiot on his motorcyle that my DH and I followed to work one morning. He was riding down the center line between the rows of cars!!!! Did it piss me off? You bet! Did I call and report him to the police? You bet!!

     

     

    I don't believe I didn't say there weren't idiots on motorcycles, did I?

     

    Personally, I applaud you for reporting someone like that. As I said, it gives ALL motorcyclists a bad reputation in the publics eyes.

    We have a hard enough time riding safely as it is... we damn sure don't need to be adding our own stupidity on top of it.

     

    When I see these idiots do things like this, I just shake my head and think, there goes another reason people stereotype us.

     

    But... ask me if I'll have any sympathy for them when they splat themselves against a car or lay their bike down because of their stupidity. Not a single drop of sympathy from me.

     

     

  11. Nitro,

     

    Actually I and my hubby both ride. Because most people don't see us on cycles, then we have to take responsibility for our own lives. If you are coming up on an intersection, just to be safe, don't you think it is a good idea to slow down so we can take precaution against the "caged driver" . Those idiots. How dare them to take advantage of the road. To try and run over us cyclists. Did the accident on Hiram Sudie involve a cell phone? Speed? pulling something out of the compartment? Putter assing along? Don't think so. I was not against motorcycles. I agree with everything you said. But not with this accident. The rider did not use any brakes at all. He never even saw the truck until it was too late. The truck NEVER saw the motorcycle!!! Do you wait until the next turning signal before going? That would be the only sure way of no accident. Maybe if the driver of the truck had not been pulling a trailer behind him I might could see him/her going on ahead, but knowing this the driver was sure there was nothing coming. And the comment about the "screw you attitude" goes both ways. The croch rockets are crazy. Please don't think I was speaking against motorcycles, cause that is not the case. I just think this accident could have been prevented.

     

     

    I wasn't chastising you for your post, I was just saying that most cases it's not the motorcyclists fault.

     

    Absolutely, I think it's a good idea slow down and take precaution. I teach the MSF course,

    so I am quite aware of the motorcyclists responsibility and I ride accordingly.

    That doesn't mean that you shouldn't be mad at the way people treat you, as a motorcyclist, on the road.

    As I said, people tend to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde the instant they get behind the wheel

     

    The truck NEVER saw the motorcyclist? Wow, there's something I've never heard before!

    Ya know, that's the story that these idiots ALWAYS give. You know WHY they don't see motorcyclist?

    It's because they are always too damn busy doing something other than paying attention to their driving'

     

    I agree, some of the crotch rocket riders are flat out terrible about the attitude and it really makes the rest

    of us look bad. When people see these idiots acting up, they don't think about THAT idiot,

    they think that ALL motorcyclists are this way' Not all crotch rocket riders are this way, but the large majority of them are.

     

    As far as the accident 'could have been prevented'. Absolutely, it could have.

    Most all accidents could be prevented if people payed attention to their driving instead of everything else

    under the sun. People take advantage of their driving privileged.

     

  12. I didn't say google was a industry place...I said lookie at what all came up(as in the search) and some from industry places silly

     

    but why do they call it the rear windshield wiper and stuff like that?

     

    just sayin... :pardon:

     

     

    Ok, look at what came up.

     

    www.tundrasolutions.com (truck forum)

    www.tradekey.com (not sure what this is)

    www.darrenbarefoot.com (ok... afraid to look)

     

    I didn't see one single manufacturer listed anywhere in there.

     

    "They" meaning 'some people' call it a rear windshield, probably because they don't know any better.

    Same reason they call the stuff in pencils, lead... when it's actually graphite.

     

    In the industry, "THEY" do not call it a rear windshield wiper. It's called a rear wiper, rear glass wiper, or rear window wiper.

     

    Look in any parts book of any automobile manufacturer and I guarantee you it won't be called a windshield.

     

    It it were called a windshield, it would be subject to window tint restrictions, meaning it could only have 6 inches of tint from the top.

    The rear glass is allowed to be fully tinted with legal tint. A "Windshield" is not allowed to be fully tinted.

     

    You can argue all you want. I'm not the one who makes the "technically" rules.

    If you want it to be called a "rear windshield", write the SAE a letter and tell them.

    Just because people call it something doesn't mean that's what it's actually called.

    People call a ratchet and socket a "wrench" too, but it's not a wrench... it's a ratchet.

  13. dude...get your panties out of a bunch... :p

     

    It is ok... it can be called both but I have always called it a rear windshield and you are not gonna change that. I know others who call it that... google rear windshield and see all that comes up... get over it

     

    :lol: :lol:

     

    lookie at what all came up

     

    and from "industry place" too :rolleyes:

     

    http://www.google.com/search?q=rear+windsh...lient=firefox-a

     

     

    I don't have my panties in a bunch.... and I have nothing to get over.

    I really don't care what you call it. You said it was "technically" called a windshield, which it isn't.

    I made a simple comment that "technically" it is not called a windshield.

    Don't get all huffy because you called something "technically" that wasn't.

     

    As I said, it doesn't matter what you call it, that doesn't make it a "windshield".

     

    Oh, and google is not an "industry place".

     

    It doesn't matter to me what you call it... you can call it a salmon if you wish.... but as I said before, that doesn't make it a salmon.

  14. "You say tomato, I say tomahto"

     

    Yes, but what I say coincides with the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) and ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) specifications.

     

    What you say is what you call it.

     

    What I say is what it's technically called, industry wide.

     

    You can call a stalk of corn a turnip, but that doesn't mean that it's a turnip.

  15. Treasure,

     

    Just to let you know the rider was talking at the accident and had a hurt leg. I think his wrist is broken. He is definitely not dead. He is very lucky and must have been going pretty fast. There were no skid marks and he made no attempt to slow down. Please, if you ride a bike, slow down at all intersections. Wear the proper attire (no shorts, no flip flops, etc) So many riders think they can be seen by everyone, but not true. They try to go around vehicles, cut through the middle of the road, and speed like crazy. I'm sure this was not the case here, just a very bad intersection. I do know the truck was not trying to beat the light or trying to beat the motorcycle. He had a clear view and did make a left turn. He was over half way through the light when he was hit by the cycle. I'm glad God was watching and no one was seriously injured. I hope the county does not wait for someone to die before changing things at this location. I would like to hear from some witnesses about the speed of either driver. Thanks

     

     

    You seem to be telling the motorcyclists all kinds things to do....

     

    Why don't we tell all the "cage" drivers the things to do, since in most all cases, the accident is caused by a "cage" driver and NOT a motorcyclist.

     

    *** Get off the damn cell phone. What is SO FREAKING important that you can't drive without a damn cell phone stuck to your ear?

     

    *** Stop messing with everything in your compartment. There is NOTHING you need THAT bad that you can't wait until you stop or get to

    where you are going to get it.

     

    *** Slow the hell down. Why is it that everyone has to drive so damn fast? Good God, if you're in that big of a hurry, leave earlier.

    Stop putting your life and other peoples likes at risk because you're in such a big damn hurry.

     

    *** Stop pulling out in front of people and putter assing along.

    If you are going to pull out in front of someone, get your ass moving! If you pull out of front of me and I have to hit my brakes,

    you pulled out without having proper room to do so.

     

    *** Look before you change lanes and use your signals. Regardless of what you think, you DO NOT have the right to move over in to another

    lane just because you want to.

     

     

    I don't know what it is about a large majority of people, that, when they get behind the wheel of a car, their whole personality changes.

    They have a "screw you, I'm going where I want to go, as fast as I want to get there, and to hell with whom-ever else" attitude.

     

    It would please me to no end to get more HEAT units and DUI task-force units out there writing tickets left and right.

    Maybe, one day, people will get the idea. Unfortunately, I doubt it. -_-

  16. those are technically called a windshield B)

     

    sorry...I am just being a smarty pants at this point

     

     

    Actually, no they are not technically called a windshield. They are called "back glass".

     

    A windshield, by SAE definition is: A shield of glass, in one or more sections, projecting above and across the dashboard of an automobile.

  17. really? my e-machine is by acer. i think. and i've been using it for three years now and have no complaints at all.

    i've looked at the full sized notebooks/laptops, and am just not interested. we have two at home and i dislike using them, very strongly. the mini is the way to go for what i'd like to use it for. however, dell and hp both make minis, so perhaps i will look into comparing them.

     

     

    Yes, Acer's, historically, are horrible machines.

     

    Sure, you may have gotten one that has lasted a few years... but as a whole, Acer is definitely one of the bottom feeders.

    They are better units than they were 10 years ago, when they produced nothing but junk, but they still aren't up to quality specs that Dell and HP are.

     

    As far as the "Real Hard Drive", don't be scared away by the flash drives.

    They are the future... spinning drives are soon to be a thing of the past.

    A solid-state drive has no moving parts to fail. They are equivalent and in most cases, faster than a conventional hard drive

    because you don't have the read/write latency of the heads moving back and forth across the platters and you don't have rotational delay of the

    disc as it spins around.

    The solid state drives are much less susceptible to shock and vibration damage and don't throw off as much heat as conventional drives.

    Solid state IS the way to go.

     

    The solid state drives aren't super large capacity, like conventional drives yet, but the "mini" machines weren't designed to be power house

    storage devices. They are designed for easy of travel, lightweight, and be accessible to use just about anywhere.

    They work perfect if you use them as they were designed.

     

    If you want extra storage, do what I did and purchase a SDHC class 6 memory card for it.

    It's darn near as fast as the solid state, but just to store downloads and such on, it's perfect.

    I've got a Dell mini 9 that I got from the factory outlet. I upgraded the 1gb of memory to 2gb for only $20.

    I added the addition 16gb flash card for $100.

     

    As far as battery life, the mini's have excellent battery life. I get about 4 hours of it before it starts complaining.

    That's another advantage of a solid state drive.... MUCH less power draw.

     

     

    ...and to protect your mini, check in to getting a "skin" for it.

    They are thick mil skins to protect the outside covers... you can get them in hundreds of different

    designs and some places, you can even create your own, putting your own pictures on them.

  18. I now know that 32% is now the legal tint, but did it change from 2004??? I got this done way back then. As I stated before Stanley at Sunblock does all the Cobb Co. police canine cars. I am sure he would not have put illegal on there. And I also figured I would have some fading so definately would be legal.

     

    How much do you charge to remove and replace the front windows only on a Yukon???

     

     

    Actually, Stanley at Sunblock did mine also and it was also illegal.

     

    He USED to do the units for PCSO, but they stopped using him for a few different reasons.

     

    I had mine done while he was still doing PCSO. After he did it, I had one of the deputies check it.

     

    I specifically told Stanley that I wanted 35%. I didn't want any confusion as to it being legal or not.

    When the deputy checked it for me, it checked out at 26% front and 11% in the back.

     

    Not trying to bad mouth the guy, but just stating facts. He did a great installation.

    It looks fantastic... can't even tell it's aftermarket tint... but it wasn't legal and certainly wasn't what I asked for...

  19. None of which apply to the OP's situation.

     

    School or work zone I agree with; but any cop that writes a ticket for four mph over anywhere else should be fired. That is the sign of someone that has never had any authority and never should.

     

     

    Umm... the person you responded too wasn't the original poster, nor did post about being 4mph over have to do with the OP's situation.

    You addressed that person's post... I addressed yours.

     

    And as far as any copy writing for 4mph over... It depends on the situation.

    To say that any cop that would write a citation for 4mph over shouldn't have any authority is just silly.

     

    As a primary offense, yes, I agree.

     

    But if being pulled over and the 4mph speeding is an additional charge for something like drug possession? Absolutely. Charge them with everything you can, legally.

     

    If it's a hit an run and they are running 4mph over? Absolutely... write it.

     

    Just to cite them for 4mph over with nothing else? Yeah, I agree... and I think most police officers would also.

    But no matter, the law gives them the authority to do so.

  20. Paulding County SO can't write a ticket for 4 mph over. That info is as bad as your advice to pay the fine.

     

     

     

    Uh... yes, actually they can.

     

     

    If you were being paced by vehicle.... they can.

     

    If you were clocked via RADAR or LiDAR is a school zone, they can.

     

    If you were clocked via RADAR or LiDAR in a work zone, they can.

     

    The 10mph rule doesn't apply in any of those three circumstances.

  21. I would be concerned if I lived anywhere on the Eastern side of the US! Especially Texas.

     

     

    Did Texas move? Last time I checked, they weren't on the eastern side of the US.

     

    I know they wanted to get out and form their own republic, but I didn't know they had picked up and moved! :rolleyes:

     

  22. No, it was there last year. I remember one of the pilots was a lady.

     

     

    Yes, it was there, but it did indeed have to leave to go on an emergency run.

     

    I was there when it lifted off...

     

    Someone complained that it left??? Some people are just morons.

  23. There is a left turn lane on 61 south...to Dallas Nebo....that area has been addressed. That is why you don't the fatalities there. Its hard to gun your vehicle when you are making a left turn out into traffic.......as a police officer...(I think) it's hard for me to believe that you would encourage this type of driving...

     

    The main problem is folks obeying the speed limit... paying attention to posted signs... Being aware of their surroundings and the conditions....and get off the damn cell phone...and PAY ATTENTION to driving...

     

    Defensive driving will always pay off.....

     

     

    I'm not talking about people turning left on to 61 from Dallas-Nebo.

     

    I'm talking about people on Dallas-Nebo turning RIGHT on to 61, heading north.

     

    They pull right out in front of people coming north-bound on 61.

    They pull out and don't bother accelerating until they get to the top of the hill.

     

    These idiots do it every single morning. They pull out and drive 20 mph all the way to the top of the hill

    before they start to accelerate... and then wonder why people are flying up on their ass so fast.

    The speed limit is 55mph on 61 in that area. I don't speed. I have to hit my brakes damn near every morning

    because one of these half brained dim-wits, talking on their freaking cell phone, not paying attention and not caring,

    pull right out in front of me.
