Ditto.

Some idiot was behind me while I was trying to turn, Apparently I wasn't turning fast enough (was a dump truck in the opposite turning lane blocking my view and I don't feel like risking getting T-Boned)

He swered into the right lane, causing a SUV to slam on their brakes and swerve into the center lane, causing another car to swerve. Damn idiot almost caused a multi car pile up. Then he cuts in front of me and pulls into Wendys........

I had a freaking school bus tailgating me through a 30mph zone that hadn't been plowed well. WTF.

Scary that they are responsible for transporting kids around whilst driving like asshats.

My friend's ex-wife was a bus driver for a while. They fired her after her 4th or 5th accident in 2 years.

The age requirement differences between a School bus driver and a cow-transport trucker are quite different. And the driving record requirements may also be different as well. But I know school bus drivers have more lenient age requirements. .... that could be part of the problem....

Drove the S to work for yesterday night as it was only supposed to be extremely light flurries....

<My vent: You'd think by this level of technology we'd be able to ACTUALLY predict weather. Not just assume with a reasonable amount of certainty....>

Left work with about 2 inches of snow/slush on the ground. I have Bridgestone RE50s.....

Scary ass shit.

Focking traffic! An accident shut down a MAJOR expressway. I happened to be ON that expressway.

I should never have found that rear under spoiler for the S. Trying to find a company in Japan to ship it here is seeming to be difficult.
