Today brought several emotions for me. About 0930 I found out that an old friend that I saw about 2 months ago fell dead from a heart attack and his funeral was today. I went by his grave after work and said my goodbyes. Later in the day I had a missed call from a brother on here and called him back as he traveled the busy roads to his work away from home. It's always good to talk to him and I truly claim him as my brother. Then on the way home I end up behind a Ford Expedition, on a 2 lane county road, that has the black out covers on his brake/tail light lenses. 3 different times he had to get on his brakes hard and fast. And my blood boiled.
Here I have just heard of the death of a friend, talked to a friend that commutes 150 miles from his family to work and then get behind a stupidsonofabitch that blacks out his brake lights. I couldn't do anything for my friend that passed nor could I do much for my traveling friend except tell him to be on his toes but then I encounter this cockwad that has INTENTIONALLY endangered himself and whomever is behind him by installing dark covers over lenses that are intended to display BRIGHT lights when the brakes are applied. I wanted to drag this sonofabitch out of his vehicle and stomp his guts out before putting a bullet between his eyes.
I ain't been this tore up in a while but weighing all 3 scenarios in the span of a few hours just spins me into orbit.
And FWIW, if you have these blackout kits on your vehicles I hope you get run the Hell over, injured to the point of never being able to drive again and have to pay any injured party enough to the point that their grand kids never have to work. Rant over.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

I knew that was you back there, just trying to keep you on your toes. Sorry to hear about your friend
If you’re a common sense person, you probably don’t feel you have a home in this world right now. If you’re a Christian, you know you were never meant to.

Sorry to hear about your friend, truly. Those taillight covers ? Illegal here in Tenn. though traffic violations aren't my thing now, I still will pull them over, ticket, and when they come to court they have to show proof of removal, (Deputy has to inspect) court cost. Second violation, it gets in their pocket book heavy. I hate'em too

Claims Rep, I hope you pointed that out to the officer and your insurance company. The other driver should be at fault for causing that accident. I'm with Wiley, they should be shot for blacking out brake lights / tail lights. They're SUPPOSED to be bright RED for a reason!

That's actually mild for Wiley. He didn't mention anything about ant hills, rusty nails, horse whips or fire pits.

So sorry for your loss, Wiley. I guess I don't get out much; I don't even know what you are talking about regarding the brake lights. It sounds like it should be illegal on a public road.

I can't believe you haven't seem them, Steve. A bunch of young ElMorons are sporting them. They are blackout covers that fit over the tail & brake lights. You can also blackout the headlighs, but they tend to prefer using those bright blue annoying headlights. Stupid is all the rage.

yeah those dark lense covers are dangerous but on the flip side of that coin if you werent tailgating him it wouldnt matter in the least. I guarantee you following too close causes 100x more wrecks than those lights do.
Go with the flow and you will end up down the drain!

Hell i bitch all the time about vehicles that don't have the yellow rear blinker lights. I can't stand the ones that blink same as brake lights.

Not enough LEO do the kind of tickets that need to be written. I'd love to see more "driving slow in the left lane"tickets written. I'm surprised no one has sued the company that makes the blackout accessories. If they are a clear danger they need to be illegal.

I've had some encounters in T-town with those darkened tail lights. When its a sunny day it definitely makes brake lights hard to see and the way people have forgotten to use their turn signals nowadays you better not be easily distracted when behind them
When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself The older I get the better I used to be
