Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

A lot of trucks have this. I have only experienced the full Apocalypse Horn Array once, after I obeyed a stupidly placed 40 km/h sign with a truck close behind me as we were both going 80 on the freeway into Melbourne. Slowed my little hatchback down and almost became a speed bump. Good thing the truckie was on his toes. ๐Ÿ˜„

I will never do that again.

The number of people I see cutting off a semi on a downhill stretch of highway or an icy bridge is too damn high. That's what I get for living so close to Rhode Island.

Oh no. You'll see that anywhere hilly. Worst I've ever seen was call California.

Does California have icy bridges?

Nah, it's everywhere. I work Truck adjacent, and just know if I'm going in front of a semi, I usually give an extra sec or so on my turn signal so they know I'm merging. So many people don't, which is a big problem in my opinion.
