    The other day while going to washington state thru oregon on I84 going over the blues , west bound we encountered a big truck driving all over the road, we hollered at him several times on the cb but no response, we finally passed him noting it was a capitol truck lines truck. On the west side of pendelton oregon a state trooper got behind him then proceded to pull him over, it took 2 1/2 miles to get this guy stopped, the one time this driver passed us he had a lap top computer on his dash playing on the thing while trying to drive. thats what i call a professional driver,,NOT, i hope the trooper either gave him a good sized ticket or arrested this idiot.

    I was on the thruway last night, and had one hit the rumbble strips several times, and he was on it for a while before moving over, I was worried about that guy!!! I didnt know wether or not to beep my horn, was he drifting off, I did not know, but I wish I could have done something to help? Wow thats as dangerous as texting while driving, what was he thinking about? If he was thinking at all that is?:biggrin_2556:

    Sometimes it's hard to pay attention to driving while playing World of Warcraft!

    I've seen that a few times. I usually pass them with the horn on full blast. That gets their attention! The ones I always laugh at are the tards that have a big map or a book across the steering wheel!:biggrin_2552:

    I agree....just the other day I very nervously squeezed past another truck that was doing the rumble-strip dance. When I get beside him, he has a note pad pinned to the steering wheel with his left elbow, which is also holding his cell phone. His right hand is also alternating between taking notes and adjusting his XM radio. Knucklehead didn't even look up until I blasted my horn at him, to which he reminded me that I was number 1....go figure.:biggrin_25513:
