Even an old hypocrite like me can see this just doesn't seem right. A possible explanation is this guy is gearing up for his new career.

Funny thing about multi-tasking is you are bitching about people doing it, yet you are doing it yourself...while driving an eighteen-wheeler...hypocrite

If I may........  What I am doing is simply hitting a button attached to a cord.  What I am doing is watching what everybody around me is doing, or, paying attention to not only my driving habits but others as well.  Funny thing is you try to piss me off or put me down all the time, yet you never leave your name. You are always bitching at me and about my pictures, yet you read this all the time.  Don't you find that a little hypocritical?  If this blog bothers you so much, don't read it.  If I don't like a song or a talk radio subject, I change the station, pretty simple to do.      

Douche Bag Of The Year (So Far)

I did notice this asshole was not alone. A very good way to treat your passengers.

I Was Thinking.......

If MnDot put these sticks where double white lines are, would it improve traffic flow? Or would people get to the end of the sticks and stop to merge right away? I am sure a bunch would be run over, but.......

It might slow this behavior down a bit and speed up traffic.

Heat Have You Down?

Six months from now reality returns. Merry Christmas.

I Wonder...........

............ Where the other shoe is and where the rest of the little person is?

Quicksilver

Nothing like coming over four lanes to exit onto 169 from 394 in heavy traffic. One thing I have never figured out is why these delivery guys beat the shit out of their own vehicles? Isn't their car their job? If your car is in the shop, then what? No work? Pay for repairs? No money coming in? That is taking a double hit in the wallet.

All For No Gain

Very nifty driving by an aerodynamic box. Scrubbing your tires to sit at a red light doesn't seem like a good idea to me. What do I know? Shake a tree, get a truck driver.

Again On 94 At 35W

When will I learn? Probably never. Hatred might NOT be a family value for this guy, but teaching bad driving habits is, just like my blurry photo's is one of mine.

Pasketti Junction

I often wonder why we didn't have to pay for a study in this area? This certainly as bad as the 35W ramp just ahead. I am sure a few double white lines here would be just as ignored as every where else. The guy on the bridge looks oblivious to the traffic jam.

A Little Too Close Again

This passenger should wake up and ask their driver what they are thinking.

Pointless

What is pointless you ask? Laws? Lane dividers? Obeying simple traffic laws? All are pointless because people will do what ever they want to.

Increasingly Popular

Why hang back and see what's ahead? Why would you?

Passive Aggressive People

This lady here just needed to be in front of me and a whole lot of other people. Passing me on the shoulder in a red car is not a good idea. I know people make mistakes when they drive but then you have the assholes who don't give a shit about anybody but themselves. People drive like this because they think they are in control, when in fact most likely like everything else around them, they are not in control of jack squat.

This dumb ass just might be the brother of the moron in the red foreign piece of junk. Plenty of opportunities to move sooner but he chose the double white line move. If you look close shit for brains is on the phone and wearing no seat belt. I do believe dummy describes this guy very well.

Ridiculous

I find it odd that everyone else stopped. A few miles down the road it didn't seem to matter anymore. Here we all are at the red light.

The Idiot Zone

The reason it is so aptly named.

A Little Too Close

Maybe this is just normal behavior.

Tax Payer Money

I am curious as to why a state owned vehicle, hybrid or not would be speeding on 94 east. As a tax payer I do not want my hard earned tax dollars being wasted on a lead footed state employee. Anybody else agree or disagree?

Why People Do What They Do?

First example is this guy driving at well over 70MPH on a 30/30 tire. 30 minutes or 30 miles. No seat belt and he was getting his ghetto lean on.

The good ole steering with the knee's maneuver while riding the brakes. I thought texting and driving was a no no.

This guy had a file of papers he was perusing through.

Mosquito Control

Every little bit helps and the blue film left on your vehicle will slow down the rust. I am not sure about your lungs.

Somedays..............

..........Your the bug, other days, the windshield......

I See You

Yes even I get tailgated by trucks. I was empty and I should have dynamited my brakes........... But I didn't.

A Real Big Assh*le

Traffic was moving just swimmingly when this guy jumps out of line to pass a few cars and me. I suppose I was going to slow into a 30MPH curve.

Prius?

I just have the image of any hybrid owner of someone being more aware of their surroundings. I guess I was wrong. It happens from time to time.

Comin On Thru

Maybe Mn Dot needs to make road signs a little more driver friendly.

Routine Maintenance

I think this guy should to pay attention to his rear wheels. They seem a little toed out.

I Don't Get It

I am not sure why I see company vans driving erratically lately and I am not sure about my photog skills. A little blurry lately. This guy here was in such a big hurry to get behind the "Purple Semi". Bad idea for him, he found someone just as erratic or worse.

The Purple Semi

I like the color purple, not that I am a Vikings fan, but on a truck? Purple would look good on a Vette or something similar. This guy sure stands out and I am not sure if it's the color or his driving. He has the same idea's as most people coming out of the tunnel. It is never a good idea to be on your brakes when taking the curve as sharp as Lowry Hill. Brake in the straits fellow trucker. I did say trucker, right?

Whatever

Whats interesting here is this guy was right behind me. I was heading west on Hwy 10 off of 610. As I signaled to move left he headed across three lanes of traffic only to come back across three lanes of traffic. Yes, the light at Foley was red. I was thinking all this guy needed was a little patience instead of ignorance.

Hi

One of my adventures today was with a few people who forgot how to merge. This guy here in his souped up Grand Am entered onto Hwy 10 from Co. 14 in Coon Rapids. He might have forgot to look to his left before he attempted to merge. This is an argument I will never win. What do people like this expect me to do? I had cars on my left and I can only slow down so fast. Accelerating would be a good alternative instead of laying on the horn, showing his I.Q. and diving into the left lane. Life sucks.

What?

Think about what?

Sunday Drivers

Having my cold come back in full force I somehow still had the strength to work some and take a few photo's. I never guessed an Olds Alero would be considered a race car. A lot of lane changes for so little distance. Someday this car will be piled up into something, I'm sure.

Is It Friday?

Definitely not a good way to start the weekend. The results of this crash are pretty much self explanatory. Not a lot of details but this link might help. It is interesting how all the media says the rider was not wearing a helmet. Not sure it would help in this situation.

An Ideal Employee

If I thought this guy was a crappy driver at this point, boy was I wrong.  He was not signaling, he just had a brake light out.  I have on occasion seen Troopers standing out here tagging these fine drivers.

Already into the left lane.

Even in St. Paul driving on the shoulder even though the signs for Snelling Ave. cleary states that it an exit only lane.

Back into the middle lane.

Finally exiting, yes from the middle lane.  I wouldn't let this guy ride my old broken trike from when I was 5 years old.  Who would let him drive their company van?

GIRLPWR

It was such a lovely day and one of my travels found me heading west out of the tunnel onto my favorite road.........  394.  A road where you just expect the, well you know the rest.  

One of my favorite moves is to put your small car in a space barely bigger than it is and then lay on the brakes.  Is this what they teach at Augsburg?  The closest I have ever been to that college is playing high school hockey.  I think I will stay farther away now.

I hope she doesn't represent all the ladies driving.

Here GIRLPWR is making the same move just mere moments later and she is off north onto 100 to confuse others and squeeze herself into tights spaces elsewhere.

Robbie Kneivel here might be related to the all powerful girl.  Nice move he made as he had to get in front of me a few miles earlier as seen above and slow down.  Sorry, I am a Robbie Maddison fan.

Shoulder Driving

If one person can do it, so can anyone else.  Hurry up and wait at a red light and awkwardly ignore the guy begging.  The blue Ranger seemed to have moved as far away as he could.

Multi-Tasking

This guy signals and makes a phone call while cutting in front of me.  Pretty impressive.

What's New?

When traveling on 394 west this happens all too often.  Better to leave a little space because people are going to do whatever they want too.  Surprisingly, this lady never turned her head once let alone signaled.  I wonder what people would do if someone was coming up on my right side?

Traffic Jam

Even the big city of Northfield is not immune from problems.  This is never a good sight.  The man riding this cycle was killed.  Just goes to show you that when your riding your cycle you never have the right of way.

Hello

After not feeling well this past week I have been slacking.  No matter how I felt this guy's day was certainly a lot worse than mine.  I don't think he made many friends on 35W.
