I was infering that by the constant resort to the occasional "fuck you",
in the same sense you infer that he was not upset. Maybe "fuck you" is
some sort of relaxed response wherever it is you come from...

So kurt is 60 years old? Whoah!

I did not say it wasn't possible, i am just saying that 1.5 million miles
is very very very very unlikely unles a) one is pretty old, or b) one is a
professional truck driver of sorts.

Huh? I seriously don't know what an MCSE has to do with this, all I was
saying is that experience doesn't make an opinion or method automatically
right. In the same sort of way that training and classes doesn't make
it right either. Mr. Huhn's arugment is that his experience somehow is
more important that the road code, which I respecfully disagree with. All
I have got so far is what a small world I must come from type of
responses. Never minding that I have driving licences from 2 continents,
and I have lived and drived in over 6 countries.

The point is that it is your responsability as a driver to be able to STOP
if anything happens in front of you. No matter how obscenities and how
much temper tantrums some members of this list throw....
