Rant Start. So the wife and I had a busy day running between Portage, Chesterton and Valparaiso. By the time we got home around 3:30 I was ready to tear some peoples heads off. Specifically we saw 6 separate drivers go through SOLID red lights. Not yellow turning to red. SOLID red lights. How no one got hit was amazing and thankful. Along with the general carelessness of peoples driving habits, it just gets me worked up frustrated. Generally I don't let it bug me. But seeing that yesterday was super annoying. Rant finished.

With laws not being enforced, criminals being released with a wrist slap, and the debacle of defunding the police, people have decided they will do whatever they please.

Sunny and 50 last Wednesday we decided to ride up the lake and check things out. Northbound I-69 at the Waterloo exit, a white F-150 decided to exit and drove through the grass between the highway and the exit ramp. Just lucky no one was coming up the ramp. On the way home just south of the Coldwater Road exit a little white sedan decided to pass a pickup truck in front of him, except he used the breakdown Lane on the right side instead of using the left lane. Thankful we made it home unscathed! I always check both ways before proceeding through a green light!
Ya'll should come ride in a semi one day. But go with a driver and not a "steering wheel holder" Some of the things we see are just...yeah

This actually happened to me in my one and only car accident. I was too close to stop on yellow so I headed on through. The old lady in the left turn lane coming at me from the other direction decided to "clear the intersection" into the side of my car. Both insurance companies decided it was my fault because witnesses said I ran the light. I still contend there wouldn't have been an accident if she didn't t-bone me!

Thankfully you said that last part. Because I am loosing a lot of respect for semi’s and have been for awhile. I use to block people for semi’s and give them the right away all the time when they try to change lanes or make wide turns. The way the driving is lately, they can yield to me and we can both be pissed off.
Few things more frustrating than a big truck passing another on I-70 when we're the only three vehicles around, theyre both going 72, I'm catching up to them at 85, and one decides suddenly to make the pass going 1 mph faster than the other. It almost feels like they wait to do it on purpose.
OK, let’s try Carmel and Westfield housewives attempting to drive through roundabouts in their minivans and huge SUVs distracted by their kids yelling and screaming in the vehicle and not watching or caring how they drive through same? Very scary indeed. Ouch.
Yep, just a straight truck, but in the eyes of the general driving population, they must be in front of me, no matter how much it puts their lives at risk. I usually pull up next to them at the next light and smile and wave
I had that yesterday morning about 7am. The speed limit is 30mph, there was nothing around, and all of a sudden, there was a car inches from my bumper. I came up to my turn, with signal on, and as I applied the brakes to turn, said jackass slammed on his brakes, almost hitting me, and then blew his horn all the way past me.
This idiot didn't have any lights on either, and probably on their phone texting.
And based on the number of hit and runs, you'll end up paying for it because nobody carries insurance anymore.
Yea the other day I asked a cop friend if it was still illegal to run red lights bc it happens so damn often. He confirmed it's still illegal
Hence the difference between drivers and steering wheel holders. The steering wheel holders have done a lot of damage to how people see the industry and it makes it harder on everyone.
