The idiot was never told what the lines in a coloring book were for as a child and it carried over to the idiots driving inability.

Glad to know nothing happened to you (and your Ranger ?) & you didn't have to meet the idiot. ? Thankfully it was only a pucker moment.

That particular instance (and most others involving our trucks) Is a phenomenon known as the "SAFFR" effect (pronounced Safer) , that driver was in a Honda Ridgeline and when he saw the front of your truck, the effect kicks in "Shit ! A Ford F'n Ranger !" and is immediately drawn towards it instead of away from it , its a compliment really...
Might be believeable if it wasn't a common occurance here in rural central Va. Happened with every vehicle I have owned since living here.

I also often wonder why people take the Lord’s name in vain.

I have people speed around me just to cut me off to get into the right turn-lane, instead of simply slowing down for a few seconds to change lanes behind me. One of many common occurrences here.

I won't disclose where I live in Illinois, but those nut job idiots in Chicago drive better than here.

Yea, not proud of that. I am sure you are perfect, though.
Yep that’s me :angel:

Intended as a joke with the wink. Sometimes stuff just comes out during a close call!

I come here to learn about things I don't know about.

What is your favorite site to visit? ?
Any website that ends in .gov.

Always plenty of folks getting screwed there.

not just Illinois...it happens everywhere, people seem to believe they can only change a lane in front of you...never behind. i find it much easier to just let off the gas and go in behind a car versus hitting the gas to get in front of someone, driving is not a race!

No lie, it's not like I walk around talking like that. And it's not until I review the video sometimes that I realize what I said.

personal and controversial opinion here, but it's not a close call if you have time to honk the horn at them. ?

You weren't there so I guess you can say what you want.
