Line of sight remotes by MidnightDad

Duckling LLBs cut off by Alexander Rogge
LLBs don't like when they try to drive beside some vehicles in the right lane and match speeds. It seems that some drivers will accelerate and cut in front of them with inches to spare, especially if there's another driver behind them who tried to get the LLB to speed up and move over. The LLBs...

Economic Caste System in America? by Dave Head
It looks like the party's soon over in the USA. First it was textiles leaving the country - shoes made in Italy and Korea, shirts in China, etc. etc. Then the heavy industry mostly all left and we got the rust belt, and imported cars. Next, the software / IT industry is outsourcing still, with...

The plot thickens (KC school bus collision) by Ted B.
I just checked the latest reports out of Kansas City about the school bus collision. The 45/46 (both ages have been reported) year old driver (Irma Denise Thomas) claims that she couldn't stop the bus. Something fishy about that story. I mean, if we take it as 100% truthful that the bus wouldn't...

Does Texas use the point-system? by [email protected]
I'm a Califonian (unfortunately), and I've been going over the "Texas Drivers License Hand book" PDF version. Anyway, so I noticed Texas calls their DMV's something like "drivers license stations" instead. Also Organ Donations are now called "Anatomical gifts". Also the book said "Don't jam on...
