I take it you've never run across a bull hauler on a farm to market road. Ranchers are about as bad as they get. I'll include old farmers too. Example: Years ago a freind was driving a truck between Dalhart and Sunray (Texas) on a lonely backroad as straight as an arrow and in broad daylight. (18 wheeler mind you)
He comes up behind a rancher/farmer in a pickup doing about 40 and since there's nobody coming he decides to pass. Just as he pulls alongside farmer Fred, the pickup turns to the left. No signal, didn't even slow down since the drive he was pillung into was at a good angle. Anyway, Darrel smacked him at about 70 and really smushed the old man and his truck up pretty good. He shuts the truck down, runs back to the old guy and wiothought even looking around at my freind, the old man says "I been turnin right there for 40 years. . . . and you ain't never been there before"
He lived to a ripe old age I hear.
