Title: I've become Mr Safety today
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on September 12, 2018, 11:34:33 AM
Riding into my village this morning I passed 2 young women joggers. They caught up with me at a stop sign. I raised my visor and let them know that they were pretty much invisible in their dark clothes and wearing nothing reflective. They just stared at me.
1/2 hr later I'd mentioned the same to 3 bike riders pedaling past where I  sit on the sidewalk with my coffee.
Watched 2 new cars go by with lights out. What happened to "auto-on" headlights which seemed to be standard a few years ago? My 20?? Silverado F-150 has 'em.

Capt. Slow on patrol this morning....

That's frustrating.

I believe that what you endured is exposure to people who believe they're the only ones on the planet.

Silverado F-150 is a contradiction of terms!

No, pretty sure I'm driving a Chevy! (it's the F-150i with the 3V i-Get engine!)

Ahhh.. the old Ford vs. Chevy debate reminds me of two mules fighting over a turnip.
