Guess We’re Throwing Stuff Now.
Topic 33859 | Page 1
Bird-One, what a bummer. That is a new low, for another driver to throw things at your truck. I’ve experienced some rude and reckless behavior on the road, but that is especially egregious.
Driving is a serious profession, not a street fight. I’m glad you came through it ok.
Was driving last night down the interstate in the right lane. Coming around a slight bend I saw multiple cars on the shoulder with flat tires. One vehicle was pretty much on the line of the shoulder and right lane. I had to get over.
There was semi in the lane next to me but had distance. No one else around really. He had room to jump over in the lane next to him. I signaled and started to shift over. He decide to speed up and start flashing brights.
He decides as he’s blowing past me to roll his window and chuck something out that smack my window dead on. Didn’t crack it which surprised me. Guy had good aim I’ll give him that. I’m thinking it wasn’t his first time doing such a thing. Seems like drivers are getting more and more aggressive out here as time goes on.
100% no camaraderie among drivers anymore.
