I don ' t think I ' ve ever disagreed with anyone more in my life . That ' s nice . I ' ve never seen a less cogent argument . and I ' m being called an idiot for that . Yup . So hear that everyone ? This guy says ignore human nature and just drive like everyone else is following the rules . Carrying a load that juts out like a javelin behind your truck ? Who cares . Your friend is definitely paying attention and will brake just fine . Again , if he had been following the law he would never have been in any danger of hitting the lead car . I cannot put it in any simpler terms . A 5 year old could grasp this , it speaks volumes that you cannot . Yep , I ' m an idiot . I ' m an asshole . I ' m stupid . Finally , we agree on something .
