[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1633450, member: 6291"] So I went thru San Antonio with the cattle trailer this weekend and I will never do it again. Between people pulling out in front of you, cutting in front of you at lights, trying to pass while lanes are merging it was nuts. I put 2 cars in the grass because lanes were merging and they were trying to haul ass around me. I just kept moving over. I was banking they liked their cars a whole lot more than I like that trailer. There were 5 or 6 cars in the left lane and no one in my lane (the right) and the light turned red. I was shutting it down to come to a stop at the light and 3 of them decided to switch lanes right in front of me and take away 75% of my stopping room. I laid on the horn and had to go in to the turn lane to stop. The craziest thing though was between Luling and China Grove a guy was moving his tractor and baler down the road. Its 2 lanes each way and he is in the far right lane. This is like a 50mph area with stop lights. I moved over to go around him and as I get close I see a black car hauling butt around my right side and I'm thinking there is no way they can stop in time so I slam on the brakes because I think they are about to hit. The car dives between me and the baler and how it did not hit one of us I do not know. To top it off there was another black car following and when the one dove between us the other had to hit the shoulder and go around on the right side... so they basically split the tractor on each side doing in excess of 70mph. If the guy on the tractor did not mess his pants he had cojones of steel. Just two days ago I saw a guy I know moving his tractor down the main highway with his son on the cab. He had to cross a bridge and I gave him plenty of room to cross. As I went by hes driving and talking on the phone like it's no big deal. I know people think they are safe in those big tractors but from experience, and if you do the math, put enough speed behind a little car and they will knock you right off the road and you dont have all the structure, air bags, and seat belts like they do. Make it a big truck or 18 wheeler and your odds are slim to none. After that mess...screw their meat shortage, fuel shortage, water shortage and what ever else problems they have in that cesspool. Build a fence around that mess and let them starve themselves out. Talk about biting the hand that literally feeds them. [/QUOTE]
