In either case, you don't belong behind the wheel of a motor vehicle.

It's time we started taking names and numbers.

Yeah, I'm mad as hell. It's one thing when you leave your left turn golf cart tail light on for two miles and every car that passes you has to slow down because they have no idea what you're doing. It's another when you wipe out a family of innocent ducks trying to cross the road.

Damn, it's not like they were trying to cross I-75 with cars going 75 mph. It's a freakin' 30mph zone.

Slow down...watch what your doing. Give a damn about someone other than yourself.

Thank you for letting me vent. I'm done for now (maybe)....
That part of your post reminded me of a very special incident I was involved in several years ago. We were traveling across country to visit relatives in New England. We were on the beltway around Indianapolis to get on I-70 East when all lanes of traffic came to a halt. A family of ducks was walking across the road toward a pond on the other side. So, even if it is an interstate highway, people do stop for ducks crossing the road!
