    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.

    Another vote for stupidity. Look at the number of people texting. I drove by somebody watching a video while driving. How many people drive slow in the left lane?

    Proper use of lights is lost on most folks.

    Not having them on in the rain.

    Keeping high beams on at night

    Keeping headlights on when parked and shining their lights into traffic.

    Off road lights on when on the road

    Fog lights on all the time

    No lights on when foggy or in the rain

    trailer lights not working


    On the lake:

    No lights at all

    Bow lights on when not underway

    Stern light too low.

    Having mood light bars on when underway



    But hey I did see a BMW with a working turn signal yesterday. When did BMW start installing turn signals?

    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.

    I turn my lights on always even when its bright and sunny to try and stop all the idiots from pulling out in front of me !!
    Done went through the ditch twice this year to keep from hitting them broadside and me hitting them head on!!
    I have had some wild rides down the ditches at 55 mph.
    Then they have the nerve to blow the horn at me and shoot a bird, they better be glad aint none of them stopped !
    No one turns on blinkers or lights anymore!

    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.

    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.

    All of the above can be summarized by the 1st reply on this thread.
    people are stupid.
    You can lead a horticulture,
    but you can't make her think.

    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.
    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.
