What I Learned After a Teen Driver Hit My Truck

Last week, while making a routine delivery to a gas station, I was sideswiped by a car. The driver turned out to be a 17-year-old without a license, claiming he was only going 35. The shock hit me hard—not just physically, but emotionally too. It made me realize how important it is to always stay alert, even in familiar places. My advice: always double-check your surroundings and never assume other drivers are following the rules. Stay safe out there, and let’s look out for each other.

Why I’ll Never Forget the Night a Drunk Driver Crossed My Path

Last night was a harsh reminder of how quickly things can go wrong on the road. A drunk driver turned straight in front of my van, barely missing me. He tried to speed off, but his car caught fire instead. Thankfully, no one was seriously hurt, but it shook me up. Please, never get behind the wheel after drinking. Always wear your seatbelt, and look out for others. Your choices matter more than you think. Have you ever had a close call with a reckless driver?

Roundabouts in Rural Kentucky: Lessons Learned the Hard Way

Recently, a new roundabout popped up near my hometown in rural eastern Kentucky. At first, I was excited—finally, some modern traffic flow! But watching folks try to navigate it was eye-opening. I saw drivers stopping in the middle, missing their exits, and even going the wrong way. It made me realize how important it is to slow down, yield to traffic already in the circle, and signal your exit. If you’re unsure, take a practice drive when it’s not busy.

Why Do Drivers Slow Down Next to Semis? My Highway Head-Scratcher

Every time I drive on my usual highway, I notice something odd: cars that are already cruising at 75-80 mph suddenly slow down when passing a semi going 65. They end up riding alongside the truck for way too long, causing a backup behind them—including me! I always wonder, why not just pass quickly and keep the flow going? Personally, I never feel comfortable lingering next to a big rig. My tip: stay alert, pass safely, and don’t hang out in a truck’s blind spot. Have you noticed this too? What’s your take on it?

Not Worth It Remember, the car that cut you off, the guy going too fast. Before you rage on him, just keep in mind he may have just caught his wife in bed with another man. He may be on the edge, and it’s best you just move on.#roadrage #RoadRageAwareness #RoadSafety
