AMEN to that one. I got T-Boned at the Bush's Baked Beans plant outside of Knoxville by a Ball Cannery employee. I was sitting stock still. His response? "I didn't see you." How can you NOT SEE a 13'6" tall, 26' long FREIGHTLINER TRACTOR?
Thats easy, drive like most sheep do, with your brain switched off, usually tailgating the car in front! Lol.
Who really needs to think anyways, right?

I used to have a spare windshield washer fluid tank and pump that nested nicely in the ladders on my rack. With no back window in my van the tailgaters didn't know I wasn't doing the glass so would back off till it stopped then creep up again. I once had a woman come back up 5 or 6 times before I got off the highway.

Another good one I've been seeing way too much of lately....You're driving along in the inside lane and someone pulls out and would be clearly cutting you off but they go straight for the left lane thinking that's ok.
Dumbasses.
