That's one of our faves, as it happens and around our family, it was cited a LOT whilst Dad was still with us, terrorizing neighbors, small children, deer and buffalo with his truck.
As I said, though--thank Odin that on his "street," 5 cars a day was a traffic jam, and the only place he ever drove himself was the P.O., 10 miles down the "street" and then...(breath-holding) across the highway.
I'm pretty damn sure that the Buffalo, antelope and other critters threw a party when Dad went to his reward, though. On the other hand, I was pretty convinced that if the dreaded anticipated Dad-versus-the-Buffalo event ever did occur, I was putting my money on the buffalo.
