"At normal intersections and turns, it's no big deal. But I do get ticked when someone is turning off onto some obscure road and fail to put on a turn signal. They are pushing their luck of getting a Dodge Ram with Lee Ann Womak blasting crammed up their trunk"
That paints a mental picture that is truely priceless.
Man, the only thing you need now is a gunrack in the back window and a rebel flag somewhere on that truck and you're all set.
The NTSB did a traffic study across the US to determine what was the leading cause of fatal accidents involving pickup trucks. As part of the study, they placed a device similar to an aircraft black box in a random set of trucks from all over the country to record what was transpiring inside the vehicle at all times. Any time time one of the test vehicles was involved in an accident, the NTSB would retrieve the black box and analyize the content.
One of the anecdotal outcomes of this study was that they were privvy to the last thing said in the vehicle prior to impact. It's would seem we're a nation of foul-mouthed drivers. In just over 45% of all accidents, the last thing heard prior to impact was "Oh sh*t!" In another 36%, coming in at second place, was "F*ck!" Third place, at 14%, was "A**hole!"
There was, however, an interesting anomoly in the data. The state of Texas, where in fully 85% of all accidents, the last thing said before impact was "Hey, hold my beer and watch this!"
