Here in New Mexico, we have the opposite problem — people who have their fog lights turned on even though weather conditions don’t warrant it. If the vehicle with the fog lights is tall, and the oncoming vehicle is not, the driver of the non-tall vehicle is blinded.
News flash: If you have fog lights, they should be turned on if you are driving in fog. If you are driving in fog and you don’t have fog lights, you should turn on your low-beam headlights, especially if your car is the same color as the fog. If you are not driving in fog or similar limited visibility conditions, leave the fog lights off.
I’ll bet the driver of the white compact car cursed you out as an idiot for pulling out in front of him.
Jerry, using the word retard is just so off. It’s a slur that hurts people with special needs. The last time I checked retard didn’t mean stupid. Go check out your dictionary and while it’s open look up ignorant.
That is why I would never call someone who has special needs a retard. I reserve the word for those who truly deserve it. The actions of this driver were beyond stupid.
I haven’t seen too many of those, but occasionally I will sense their presence in my vicinity.
You shouldn’t insult the retarded folks like that….
I actually thought about that when I wrote the above.
Did they appear out of the fog as you were turning left out of the Summit Roadhouse parking lot?
Yep. they were cleverly disguised as a break in traffic.
Egads, I’ve seen far too many fatals at that parking lot.
it’s a good thing you don’t make posts like this for every stupid driver on 17, or you’d never get anything else done. :P
