For those who know about me getting rear-ended while turning onto the road through town, I’m OK and in one piece.\u00c2? (I am utterly amazed at the number of drivers who haven’t heard of turn signals — I. WAS. USING. MINE. AND. THEY. IGNORED. IT. AND. TRIED. TO. PASS. ME.\u00c2? I really have no pity for them because they also were really rude to me after they hit me.)\u00c2? Give me a couple days to get over the sore muscles and I’ll be my normal ornery self.\u00c2? :)\u00c2? The stupidheads who hit me managed to do some pretty decent damage to their pick-up though.\u00c2? (My car is still driveable though it needs some body work and the tail-light replaced.)<\/p>\n
Well… we were driving home tonight and going about 10 mph under the speed limit because visibility was crappy and snow was blowing on the roads.\u00c2? (In other words, not weather in which you should be doing upwards of 65 mph) and some idiot decided to tailgate us with their brights on.<\/p>\n
OK… let’s talk about common sense.\u00c2? If there’s crappy visibility due to fog or blowing snow, your brights aren’t going to help — in fact, they make it worse.\u00c2? Secondly, if there’s blowing snow, the road conditions are worse than usual and this means that going the normal speed limit is not incredibly advisable.\u00c2? Sorry… I’d rather get home later if it means I get home in one piece.<\/p>\n
