    Pretty sure that working turn signal is a factory defect OR the driver isn't used to "BMW things".
    2023 Xpress H18 with 115 SHO that's optioned to fit my wants and pulled by a little Ram.

    Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. Just smile and walk away.

    Why I use Rain-X

    It will never enforced just as the no handheld device law will not be. Seen two cops yesterday driving with a phone to their ear.
    If professionals who's careers depend on catching fish use FFS then that's what I'm using. Might be too simple of a philosophy but makes sense to me.

    I hate that! It took me a long time to accept that doing everything by myself wasn’t sustainable. I was burned out, unmotivated, and constantly anxious. That changed when I found academized https://academized.com/order-research-paper . Knowing I had professional help on standby meant I could finally let go of the panic and focus on growing, learning, and just enjoying the process.

    Many reasons for all the issues you guys are referring to: self centered, oblivious to what's going on around them, as stated stupidity also ranks highly. Around here many don't use their turn signals, pull out in front of you, burn their lights when the sun is shining and others slow to turn them on when it begins to get dark, raining, or foggy. Go figure.

    With today's vehicle prices, a lot of people are still driving vehicles made prior to when automatic everything was put on. My 2007 Ram does not have automatic lights. They still must be turned on manually.

    I'm glad my 2007 GMC Sierra has automatic lights and wipers. Big convenience.

    There's lots of decaffeinated brands that are just as tasty as the real thing.

    Same law here but I don't believe it is enforced at all. You'd think regardless of the law they would want to be seen in the rain.

    If you do a citizens arrest, it must be done in Gomer Pyle style.!!

    Yep they get a free pass on everything and simply do what they want.

    Very few people pulled over in the rain. Cops to busy working accidents. Or just don’t want to get wet writing a ticket.

    Why don’t people driving in rain and fog turn their lights? Just drove down to Lexington. Can’t hardly see the cars you are coming up behind.

    Fixed it for ya.
