Good post; I agree with you. The country is full of both good and bad drivers, automobile drivers and truckers. I live in upstate NY on the NY/PA border and put in about 350 miles a week along Rt. 17/86 and also up into and around the Finger Lakes area. I see and experience a lot of things on the road. I don't want to sterotype or generalize but here's what my experiences show: 1 - Vehicles with New Jersey, Connecticut or Quebec license plates are more likely to pay less attention to traffic laws and seem to have the greatest disregard for others on the road.
2 - People driving BMW's and Volvos are truly suprised and offended that there might be other people who have a right to drive on the road too.
2 - Truckers: I've found that the majority are courteous and safe but there is that minority who are bullies and have nothing but disdain for those of us driving our four wheeled vehicles. They give the rest of the truckers a bad name. I get frustrated with other drivers when I'm hauling my tractor with my pickup and trailer; most people don't have any idea how long it takes to stop the rig when they pull out in front of you or dart in and out of traffic. So, I've learned to drive more alertly to compensate for these idiots (and that includes the occasional trucker who thinks he can pull out of a fuel stop or parking area in front of traffic just because he or she is driving a truck.)

They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
