Shane, There's no end to what some of these lunatics will do. This fall, we were moving three combines from one farm to another. I had a tool truck with flashers parked crossways of the road trying to restrain traffic while the combines were comming across a two lane overpass. All but one had no problem waiting for a minute at most, However one moron insisted that I had no right to impede his progress and proceeded to cross only to be met by the three combines in the middle of the overpass. After an exchange of words with the operator of the lead combine, he realized that only one vehicle was going to back up and it was him. As he got back to me, he displayed the international half peace sign as I grinned and wished him a good day. I can't even begin to relate how many times while driving a loaded semi, heading for the elevator that people will either dart out from a stop sign just to try to make sure that they don't get behind me or pass on a double yellow no passing zone. I even had a guy pass me on a 2 lane no passing zone bridge knowing he was going to turn off less than a mile down the road. What he didnt see was the deputy sheriff sitting on the other side of the bridge. I'm sure that one cost him. Every year for the last 5 or 6 years, someone has been broadsided by a Truck hauling sugar beets in our area. Each time, it was the fault of the other driver, not the truck driver. You'd think they'd learn, but they don't.
