Lots of death and destruction on the roadways. Folks think nothing of it.

Law of gross tonnage doesn't just apply to bicyclists. If it's applied the same way to passenger vehicles, you deserve what you get when you get on the road with larger vehicles.

It looks like his brakes had locked up and overheated and his tires caught fire. Hard to put out those big semi tires they burn hot.

Gross tonnage, laws of physics...some people just do not get it.

A governor has no place on a semi.

If governed at least let em run 80 so they can pass the ones that don't have enough power to pull a sick whore off of a piss pot.

Texting.
That's the main reason my bicycle doesn't get used hardly ever any more. Too many distracted azzwipes on the road, who can't even notice other vehicles, let alone somebody on 2 wheels. I've almost been nailed by some of those distracted drivers a few times and it seems they are always looking at their phone or something else other than the road.
There is a reason for minimum speed limits.

Betting a bicycle rarely hits those minimum speed limits but wants to blame to driver on the roadway.

Odd that there's not more given how needlessly wreckless people are.


drivers needlessly die every day no matter where

Most are related to speeding......distracted..........or DUI

All these can be corrected

Just opening KSL news.....every day some one or other are kilt.......needlessly in most cases

DUI - illegal, but chuckled at by many who know how much they can drink and still be 100% in control, regardless of those silly percent limits.

Speeding - illegal, but disregarded by those who stand for a person's right to flaunt the law.

Distracted - illegal, and soundly condemned by both of the "buts" above.


Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.
