Tailgaters, speeders among FHP targets

The Florida Highway Patrol is planning a crackdown on aggressive driving for February.
They'll role out their strategy in two parts. The first is an education campaign -- based around radio ads and billboards -- sharing the dangers of aggressive driving.
The second part of the campaign is an enforcement effort, ticketing drivers for aggressive driving. They'll be on the roads doing that Feb. 27-29.
According to FHP Sgt. Steve Gaskins, there are three main characteristics of aggressive driving they'll be looking for: following too closely, improperly changing lanes and speeding.
Gaskins said aggressive drivers are often doing more than one of those things.
"When you're doing multiple violations at one time, that's what we would define as aggressive," Gaskins said.
He said FHP felt the need to combat aggressive driving because their research shows 88 percent of all crashes in Florida are caused by actions of drivers, rather than inclement weather, road conditions or vehicle defects.

There is a sick bird in Florida somewhere who's poop is not white like other birds... its brown like spit from chewing tabacco! This sickly bird craps on my car from time to time and I hate it! Makes me miss old fashion white poop because white blends in better with gray. Brown poop contrasts oh too well! I wonder what kind of bird poops like that... unless...
...unless it truly IS spit from chewing tabacco! Then it makes me wonder... Who would spit on my car and WHY? LoL

Same Bat time, same Bat-Channel! {From the Adam West era, LoL!}

Interesting story...
...a few young men were in a 4-door Mercedes. I was at a red light already. They rolled up next to me, windows rolled down. The guy in the back seat said,"Yo! That's an Evo VII!"
The driver said, "Nah man... that's just an Evo IX."
"No no! I'm telling you, it's an Evo VII!"
The driver rolls forward... looks at the front of my Evo... and says, "I ASSURE YOU, it's an Evo IX!"
My light turns green and I leave him behind (he was not in a turn lane).
