About 95% of those people who think they're in a hurry really aren't. It all comes down to selfishness and lack of patience. No courtesy either.

As a retired tow truck operator I can honestly say I met people by accident

“Make some kind of good faith effort to protect stupid people” I want them out of the gene pool

This is going to make me sound old (and I probably am) but I swear people used to be smarter

I have the upmost patience for farmers and oversized load trucks. Maybe because I do both!

The other scary thing about these "people" is they have the power to vote.

reminds me of a line from Shawshank Redemption.... "The world went and got itself in a big damn hurry"

The one thing I learned in drivers ed that the teachers didn't exactly say but that I follow is that if I pull in front of someone and they have to slow down, I fucked up. Cut in front and floor it if you really cant wait...

50 years ago. my grandfather put a bumper sticker on the back of his car when he got honked at alot. It said "hurry up, hell ain't quite full yet". Years after he died I saw a better one "drive like hell, and you will get there". Good Luck, Rick

A lot of people are just inconsiderate of others. Couple years ago I stopped in the middle of the road so three heavily loaded log trucks could safely pull out and make a sharp turn to get on the road. Everyone of them smiled and waved. Seen nothing but a bunch of irritated people behind me lol

We need to just start taking the warning labels off of stuff and stupid will solve itself.

Trust me Jeff. This firefighter sees too often the results of everybody being in a hurry. People are in a rush to get know where fast.

Wow he brake checked you after he pulled out in front! Incredible

All day. Every day. I'm never surprised anymore.. but I still get bewildered at what makes them risk it all for NOTHING.

As my dad used to tell me way back when I first got my drivers license " It aint you i worry about its all the other IDIOTS on the road" . He taught me to drive well and safely so knew i could handle cars in slides etc but as he said you never know what anyone else is capable of and best to always expect them to do the dumbest thing possible always. I always plan to be where i need to be 10 to 20 minutes before i have to be there and then allow atleast 20 minutes extra time than i know it will take me to drive there in the slowest traffic so I always have a 40 minute buffer for any timed arrival but i never rush it even if i do end up being late as Dad always said better to be late than DEAD on time!

Yeah it’s crazy anymore people just can’t wait. I have them pull out in front of me all the time while there is no one behind me only to turn 3 blocks down the road

Jeff, better go home, have an adult beverage and play with Griffy. Stress is a killer

Of course they're in a hurry, they've got a funeral to get too!

Idaho! Far as I know as long as the farmer has a slow moving vehicle sign and they weren't intentionally trying to cause an accident they really have no liability. The worst stretch of highway I've ever driven in a truck was during harvest between American Falls and Aberdeen. The people in the cars don't have a clue and the farm hands driving the equipment are just as clueless! They'd have 30 cars behind them and instead of pulling over in those nice paved pull-outs they made for them they'd just keep on a going plugging up traffic. Idaho law states if there's 3 or more vehicles behind you that you have to pull over and let them pass.

They're more important than us, in their peanut size brains 😛

I grew up around farmers, Amish, and Meninite. Plenty of respect and patience here.

I am learning how to drive one of them there trucks, and a person cut me off, slammed on their brakes, and then turned right, this was on my 4th time driving, my instructor was pissed off, luckily i expected it and started to slow down, he asked me why and i said "wait 5 more seconds... yup, predicted it"

You really showed 'em with that air horn though. I'm sure that made them regret it.

I get concerned about this every time we move machinery down the road. Most people just don’t understand that we often have limited opportunities to move off the road due to poles, mailboxes and other obstacles and they just can’t seem to wait a half mile till we can move over.

I'm glad I am retired. The drive to work was full of these situations. Aggravating as heck.

Never heard of “The NASCAR “ will be using it. Thank you

I drive in westchester county ny and nyc people are so damn impatient it's infuriating. The driving public is straight up ignorant on pulling out and stopping in front of big rigs.

I just love it when people pass you then make you slow down so they can turn 4 seconds after they passed you....

Common sense and common courtesy seem to be extremely uncommon nowadays. It’s sad to see where humanity is going. So glad I’m on the tail end of life.

This is something that drives me up and down the wall! I can't standing it when people pass me, then cut across me to take an exit, or they pass me just to get to their turnoff a while 3 seconds sooner. God forbid they have to wait 5 minutes.

As a driver and a pilot car operator. You see some of the most insane things people do without thought.

It's like they're trying to make a new record to get to their location every time . I drive a smaller freightliner with 12,000 liter water tank

I had a D65 dozer on the lowboy once on a two lane road in Pa and a school bus pulled out in front of me about the same distance as the suv did on you and then stopped 12 times before it turned left, That was 10 or 12 years ago,but I;m feeling much better now!! Well maybe not yer!!

thats why i always leave the house at least 15 - 20 mins early. dont gotta rush.

When my uncle was giving me driving lessons,when I was a teen if I went a little to fast he would say “we are all getting there at the same time “ Still words to live by today..

Old man anger, it is a killer. Let it go and remind yourself that all is good in your world. Do not let idiots on four wheels bring you down.

The general public I swear is getting stupider by the year.

Gotta hurry up and get to Starbucks so they can wait in the drive through line!

I had one time in my life where I accidently pulled out in front of a trucker, I gunned it damn fast as soon as I realized it but felt fucking horrible for it. Huge respect for transport vehicles, absolute lifeblood of America. I deserved his extended air horn and chasing up on my rear. Stupid mistake, if I had a CB I would have hopped on right away and apologized with a beer and lunch for the day.

Just something about that word LEFT that makes people crazy.😂😂

Drives me crazy when people pass you and then slow down to turn immediately after. Especially on the interstate, zoology around you and then exit right. Makes me want to run into them.

It’s dealing with this crap. Every. Single. Day. That I’m really considering parking my truck and finding something else to do.

It’s unbelievably aggravating. I’ll be riding with my wife in her car and she will get upset about another driver and I’m like babe, I get it but you really have no idea how good you’ve got it in this car. There’s not much worse of a feeling than almost plowing through an idiot when they pull out in front of you and you’re loaded. We bale hay every summer and even though we pull off every chance we get to let everyone around we still get assholes that flip us off and scream because we slowed them down by a few minutes. People don’t understand simple math. If you’re behind a tractor doing 25 in a 50 for a couple miles you’re only out a couple minutes at most but people act like you’ve just made them 30 minutes late.

Like Stoney Ridge Farmer's T-shirt: Stupid Should Hurt......it does actually, innocent by standers.

Jeff, I've done a lot of driving in my life and I can't tell you how many knuckleheads I've seen do stupid stuff and then I've seen them 10-30 minutes up the road in a ditch or into a pole. It only bothers me when innocent people get hurt, if they have a death wish I say Good Luck

When I get behind a farmer pulling equipment down the country roads around me I put my hazards on and just enjoy the pace......... Its not going to make or break anyone to just SLOW DOWN for a few minutes in your Life..............

I was involved in a wreck on our landscaping tractor; a few years ago. I had my hand out to turn left and put it back on steering wheel to turn. Car passed on left side. It hit the rear tire and our roll over box.

They dont have a minute to stay behind or wait for a larger truck or farm equpiment. But I swear every single one of them will sit in the tim hortons (big in Canada) line up for 15 min for a coffee

Back when I was in drivers ed we had to watch a hours worth of deadly accidents. I think they need to start making some of these people watch it again.

So what you're saying is that there are as many stupid people up there as there are anywhere else.

I totally agree with you about people being in a big hurry for no reason at all. And they think a loaded big truck can stop like a car. Some folks are plain stupid

Getting motion sick easily has taught me patience in city driving. To *not* be on the gas and brake so hard to maintain that minimum safety distance *at all times* like everyone else likes to do. To actually look beyond the car in front of me to know whether I should be on the gas, the brake, or if I'm good just coasting. Then I come to know the frustration of truckers when someone cuts you off because they feel the space they see in front of you is big enough for them to fit in. Still love that line from Disney/Pixar's "Cars". "Cars didn't drive to make great time, they drove to *have* a great time."

Yes sir no brains ...... no headaches ten four these people 🤦🏻‍♂️✌🏻🤙🏻👍🏻

Never seems to be any law enforcement around either. And when there is, they don't seem to do much if anything anyway

They're racing to get to the other side to see if it's better, but don't realize they can't come back.

At least most farmers aren't driving their tractors around in the dark. Amish on the other hand get caught away from home when the sun goes down in the winter and seeing them at night is near impossible. Black buggies, black horses and people that have dark clothing on. The ones around here only have lanterns to show up at night. Lanterns can't be seen from far away.

"cut out in front of him" lmao wasn't even close on the first one

Better to be late in this life then earli to the next.

I recently discovered an old, slow diesel pickup superpower. I won't do it to cars because they don't understand, but if I'm being tailgated by a modified "pavement princess" pickup and they won't go away, I'll slow down a fair bit, move as far left as safely possible to get my tailpipe as centered in my lane as I can and then smoke 'em. They back off the second they hit that cloud.

The average driver today learned to drive either playing video games or watching movies.

When I drove seemed like everyone that pulled out like that right in front of you they always had to turn immediately after I feel ya I personally think everyone should have to drive around in a semi and farm machinery before they are allowed to have a drivers license just so they understand

Damn Jeff I didn't think they breed stupid people anywhere but in Kentucky. Lol. I could have posted a video of a woman that passed me the other day, she was putting on makeup, eating and texting. Was a four lane, in the fast lane, tailgating the guy in front of her that was going about two miles a hour faster than me so I had a good look.

Was a ranch mechanic /all around hand /cattlepot driver and stupid people never cease to amaze me. Some people have common sense but most dont. You CAN fix stupid , but its gonna hurt !

I really enjoy seeing the American homes, landscapes and scenery in your videos. So interesting.

Blimey Jeff. You could measure how loud that horn is on the Richter Scale

Very true, I've installed a dash cam to get those special moments on video.lol

Mission accomplished!! I got ahead of the truck thats all that matters.

I'm an OTR driver myself. 53' reefer. And I after 13+ years I can still be amazed at the utter stupidity of four-wheelers on the road. A trend I have been seeing is people on the interstate slowing down a mile before they exit. Sometimes I think about rear-ending them to see if maybe it will jump-start their brain.

Horns are in vehicles for safety not because you’re angry

As a farmer I work alone most of the time so a pilot vehicle is difficult to come by plus it adds difficulty to people being able to pass me which I would like them to do. People should be aware that not only is traffic an obstacle for moving farm equipment but so are mail boxes. Driver should be aware of where mailboxes are so they don't get caught in the middle of the operator trying to avoid a mailbox. My equipment is older and not equipped with flashing lights so I purchased magnetic light that I attached to the equipment. I usually don't worry about cars but when transporting equipment I try to get out of the way of trucks. It's to difficult for them to pass and I know they are on a schedule.

The one thing my trainers hammered into our heads in CDL training is that you're the professional and the vast majority of drivers are amateurs so you need to anticipate and just deal with the idiots. Even if they break the law and it's legally their fault that doesn't mean you won't get in trouble (or fired) for not predicting the idiocy and avoiding the fallout.

thank you for your your hard work sir!

This exemplifies just ONE reason I finally said ‘to hell with trucking’ and retired In 2015 after 38 years as a veteran truck driver/owner operator. People in automobiles take too much crap for granted with the attitude of “that truck driver won’t run over me bc he’ll lose his job”. SMH.

As a farmer, our injury and accident insurance is in the neighborhood of $2 million per incident. Carry enough to replace our equipment no matter what it is we are driving, the other person's equipment and enough for hospital and collateral damages. That being said we try to have a tail vehicle when we can, and we can see behind our equipment. We will pull over or run the ditch when its safe to do so. If we are not making a clear effort to let people pass there is probably a reason, either we are about to turn, it isn't safe, or we have obstacles on the ditch side that require us to take up the road to not rip the signs or bridges. So just remember that tractor tire is 6-7 foot tall and doesnt give a shit about your 5 foot tall car, that tractor is atleast 18000 lbs by itself and if it's an articulated you can bet on 30000 lbs plus implement weight added to it. Our equipment is designed to cut through several inches of rock and dirt, it wont care about your 1/16 inch steel or aluminum car body. When the dust settles the tractor will be the one on top literally with the exception of a semi. It's not worth your life being crushed and torn to bits to save a couple minutes. We got a job to do just like everyone else and we are trying to do it as safe and effectively as we can for everyone around. Just give us a minute and we'll get everyone around and on their way.

The triangle on the back and hazards is all farmers need

As a truck driver, and someone who’s worked on the farm , and someone who is in a hurry sometimes... I see both sides of this! You don’t know how much longer that tractor pulling an implement is going to be in front of you ! The 4 wheeler that pulled out in front of you... no excuse for that !

Wait an extra 5 seconds to avoid wrecking my car: sounds like a good deal!👍

Our feed truck just put a new train horn on his truck. He'll hit it on our farm and the dishes rattle in the house. Kids love it.

"All had to do was wait five more seconds to be safe. Everybody is in a hurry."

Some red faced embarrassment when they screw up through not looking far enough and reading the road ahead, that's how it is occasionally 🤪🤔😳

Here in Indiana farmers arre courteous... That being said: THEY HAVE THE RIGHT AWAY! They have limited maneuverability... Cars must yield.. FARMERS WILL SLOW DOWN AND STOP SO YOU CAN GET OUT OF THE WAY... But they are not leaving the road and nor can they give up your side of the road, because their vehicles are often very very wide.

Laying on the horn always helps...lol.

I love it when they try to pass when you are turning, I ran someone right off the road because they came out of nowhere to pass as I was entering the farm lane on the opposite side of the road, I have mirrors and flashers on the tractor but you can’t see what bullshit is about to happen despite all that, I try to drift over ahead of time but In this instance there was a car coming the other way so I had to slow down and let them pass and to the prick behind me that meant pass as fast as possible

I'm an owner operator pulling a belly dump in Phoenix area and deal with this crap all day long. Gets old for sure! Love your channel, keep up the good work

The stakes couldn't be any higher: human life. My husband was a truck driver. Unfortunately he was involved in an accident through NO FAULT OF HIS OWN. Young man was impaled on his steering wheel and his car was on fire. My husband tried to open any of his car doors to help the man but couldn't open any doors on the vehicle-- firefighters ended up later cutting him out of his carwith the jaws of life. All my husband could do is grab the fire extinguisher and put out the fire and call 911. Turns out this young man was his parents' only child. PLEASE, PLEASE BE CAREFUL, PEOPLE!!!

Yes honk in anger. Very helpful. Usually I just apply the brakes as Im not willing to take road rage to its ultimate end-death 😆

I agree about the idiots that pull out or pass then left turn. But actually be the last guy and you didn't know the farmer was turning till after the guy was passing. Guy passing got out far enough to see no one was coming. Last guy was fine. I know it's hard to relax when your not in control.

I was once riding on a coach bus in a sow storm. They were closing he highway behind us, and you could only really see about 20 feet out the windshield. All of a sudden, I see tail lights come up the right side of the bus. My thought was "Oh, he's not gonna..." but yep. Tried to cut the bus off by turning left in front of it, lost traction, and skidded sideways. There was nowhere for the bus to go but right into the driver's side of that pickup. Poor bus driver thought she killed him. That bastard in the pickup was lucky to be alive!

At first I thought you were kind of a nut, driving too fast, but then I realized I was playing the video at 2x speed.

The farmers I work for always have pilot cars and keep road users safe been happy working for them. Good people.

It doesn’t matter if you have a 60 to 80,000lb dozer on your trailer. You better come to stop when IM READY TO PULL ON THE ROAD! I see it everywhere in New England! Then again I have watched my wife on route 6 in Maine do 80+ mph trying to pull away from empty logging trucks that just keep pushing her down the road. Respect and responsibility is not a one way road ! Great video ! 👍👍

I hope more people and farmers catch onto the words of wisdom in this video. Spending half my life in rural Wyoming I have come across tractors far more than I can count. It is a safety issue not having anything to let approaching cars know. Worst part about it is the amount of people that speed like crazy on the two laners. Volatile combination

As a truck driver i can attest to people being stupid around trucks. Last winter i drove school bus for something to keep me busy in the off-season and it was surprising the amount of respect school busses get. But in a semi (or now im driving bulk fuel truck) people continuously cut you off or try to beat you. Common courteous is a thing of the past. The thing that picks my ass the most is when someone passes me then goes 5km slower than what i have my cruise set at!

The camera looking at the middle post of your front window is greatly frustrating...

I’m so sick of asshole drivers. I can’t tell you how often someone will turn in front of me, causing me to break hard AND THERES NOBODY BEHIND ME FOR AS FAR AS YOU CAN SEE.

You Said it Man !!! You Can't pound it out of em with a Hammer !!! NO Consideration and a Total Disregaurd for Safty , I drive a 42 Tired Flow Boy in Southeastern Michigan A.K.A. The Detroit Area and this is my 35 year in the Bussiness !!! Used to be they got worst every year NOW It's everyday ,we were essencial during carona and it was Fun Last Spring but now we are opened back up its EVEN WORSE !! I Feel your pain Here in Michigan Keep on Truckin SledgeHammer

I experienced a stupid driver this past winter that totaled a (to me) new vehicle. I was behind a snowplow, on a 45mph s-curve that was iced over, guy in the incoming lane tried to pass, saw the snowplow, overcorrected and spunout into me. I got a 1980s truck with steel bumpers and a 1-ton frame with the insurance payout. Not going thru that again.

Everybody's in a hurry 'cause there's only so much time in the day to get stuff done.

Spent 9 years in dump trucks. Saw this kind of thing every day.

It's a pain, but over-dimensional farm equipment are allowed by most States to operate on public roads in agricultural areas.
