There are so many brain dead people in this business today that drives so unprofessionally it’s not even funny and it’s getting to the point where I’m going to quit!! You can’t even pass somebody today without them kicking it down and trying to keep you from passing them and playing other games as well. Not to mention all the drivers that don’t even have a license or insurance that are on our roadways.
But the games that drivers are playing today are ridiculous and are getting worse!!
