Idiots on and off the road

Brief rant about idiots on and off the road.

First, someone whose driving style shows their idiocy, even while they’re parked!

If you purchase a gigantor vehicle, that does not automatically entitle you to multiple parking spaces wherever you go.  Certainly not in the second row of parking from a busy supermarket.  True, the cart corral does poke somewhat into the third space.  But guess what?  When I left the market, they had left, and those spaces were indeed taken up by 3 other vehicles.  One of which was ALSO a truck.

I’m showing them a kindness by blurring the license plate.

The driver of this truck isn’t necessarily an idiot, but their sign is idiotic.

You can’t quite read it, but the sign says something along the lines of “WARNING: Not responsible for damage due to falling debris.  Stay 200 feet behind vehicle.”  The reason why that’s stupid is two-fold.

Yes, you are responsible if stuff falls out of your truck, the same as I’d be responsible if my fender fell off on the freeway and hit the guy behind me.

Second, unless you drive wearing binoculars (which I wouldn’t recommend), you can’t even READ the sign unless you’re already much closer than 200 feet!
