How Close Is Close?

There is nothing positive that would come out of this situation. Tailgating at 65MPH plus might get you unemployed faster.

If you thought this guy was close before, look at the shadow on the road in front of him.


People Are Watching

I hope this guy is not going to do what it looks like he is going to do.

Something Different

Or Not.

One Lane.

Two lanes, hit the brakes.

Three lanes, hit the brakes.

Four lanes, speed up.

Stop at the red light. Made perfect sense to me. Hurry up and wait.





Tailgating Tanker


On my travels in the last week I encountered this tanker weaving through traffic at will. While his placard is 1203 which could be a number of fuels other than gasoline, he is still flammable. Most likely he is or was hauling biodiesel or ethanol. Biodiesel has a flash point around 300 degrees F and ethanol in it's many varieties is under 100 degrees F. A temperature not that hard to achieve when you have a car stuck under you while moving at 70 plus MPH. A side ways car causes a bunch of sparks when the tires are ground off. With that in mind, a little caution would be well advised.


Here he is catching up to traffic in a hurry. The speed limit on 494 is 60MPH while most are traveling around 65 to 70 MPH.

494 and 100 can be a confusing interchange for those who don't travel through here a lot.

Here a car darts in front of the tailgatee. Potential danger as if someone else moves into that lane the tailgater has left himself with no "out". Slamming on the brakes would only look good but in reality wouldn't do much good.

The tailgatee must have sensed that the tailgater was not going to back off and does the right thing by getting out of the way. Why argue with 18 wheels when you only have 4? Instead of causing a problem the tailgatee avoided it. Once again, dangerous taking the pictures or tailgating? You decide.

I35 On A Saturday Morning

Seems to be a little problem here.

The FUV rollover. Valleyfair should have a ride like this.

Farther south some more shenanigans.


This guy kept it on the wheels. He did however wreck the chain link fence.

Sometimes you end up right where you belong, but you don't realize it until it's too late.

Someone Wasn't Watching


I know this feeling all to well.

Window Stickers

This guy's guardian angel must fly pretty fast.

Almost Done.......




Well, I still have some things left, but I am waiting on other people............

WTF Is This?


I feel safer on my cycle.

Welcome To Minnesota





Yes, even if your from out of state you can drive like the rest of us. Please, give me the finger next time. Whoops, there I go ripping on someone else's driving while taking pictures. Shame on me.

Never Seen This Before



This could be how some anonymous commenter that doesn't like me very much drives.

And The Building Continues...................




A few setbacks, but everything is moving along. Soon I can be called a fag or ugly bastard while I am on my bike. Looking forward to it, buddy.

No Problem





Once again, maybe read the signs or even look at a map.

HMMMMM






Your an idiot.

A Bad Day?

Save face and stay in your car.

This is a crosswalk I would avoid, unless I was a smart ass who likes to call people fags while being chickenshit and hiding.

Definitely a bad way to start the day.

Still Building......

I think the powdercoating might have shrunk things a little bit.

Way Too Close

This isn't the best lane change one can make. Mirrors are on your car for a reason.

What can you do?
