If you're purposely blocking others from using the passing lane, then you too are a driver I'd rather not share the road with.

Right cause they overvalued by travel trailer by a good 9,000 and my truck by another 10,000 so is there no way to fix that? If not I'm willing to sell these vehicles to the county at their quoted price.

Hire tad morlan, he’ll probably get it dropped and he does good business.

My favorite is the aggressive speed demons creating a pocket of mobile madness who then pull into Walmart. Mother fucker you ain't in that much of a hurry if you're going to Walmart. Chill.

I don't know if it's the same anymore but I drove from Republic to Aurora for like 8 years and this was before they put those passing sections in. I would absolutely have loved to drive faster but the cops in every single little town from here to there LOVE to set up shop on 60 and pull people over. After I got a ticket doing like 6 over the limit (and yes, he enforced it and I had to go to court to plead and pay it) I resigned to my fate that even if there's no one out driving you have to be as slow as possible because those cops don't care

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.

It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.

Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.

Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.

People love to tailgate. Back in 2020, my partner and I were driving our newborn son (he was like a week old and 6 pounds) to his first doctors appointment and I was sitting in the back seat. We were going the speed limit on the road that takes us from ash grove to Willard when some assholes in a shitty ass truck suddenly speed up behind us. Mind you they could pass us at any time but they didn’t want to. They start tailgating us and swerving around frantically. I started freaking out but my partner remained calm and didn’t react to them.

They suddenly floored it past us while flipping us off and I figured we were in the clear, but no I was sadly mistaken. They stopped right in front of us and 2 men jumped out of the truck, I assume thinking my partner would pull over to confront them. There was no reaction time, if he had slammed his breaks we would of slammed into them, so he had to swerve into the ditch with our NEWBORN in the back seat to pass these guys. They hopped back in their truck and sped up to tailgate us again.

I wiped around with my “baby on board” sticker I had yet to put on and slammed it on the window.

They sped past us and left us alone.

I wish we had a dash cam because I called the police and since they had no tags there was nothing they could do to identify them as we were both pretty shaken up about the encounter and couldn’t really remember anything identifying about the vehicle type*.

Anytime I went to doctor appointments after that I packed my gun with me in the car just incase.

Freaking tweakers.

I drove an 18 wheeler for years. Here is my trick, drive one mile under the speed limit. Cars from behind will pass and you have more control over your following distance.

If Springfield is anything like STL, Godspeed!!!

I have a newer car with adaptive cruise control. I set mine to a 3-second follow distance, which is the recommended standard for safety, and just chill.

Try to go the Thur or Fri before, they’ll most likely being doing a soft open and you might get in.

You’re supposed to go to casenet and find your case number by name to pay the fine online if you want or go to your court date. I can’t find my ticket to pay a non complete stop at stop sign, so good luck

Change your bulbs and batteries in your stat. Could be loose wires too. Use an hourly rate company and avoid mr. Electric. They are 4 to 8 times the cost of a fair priced electrician. I have seen their bids.

They were training Wednesday, nothing I can find says they opened to the public yet. Everything says open Monday the 12th.

I try to get better about being impatient while driving. I thought the tiers were in 10 mph increments. Last time I got a speeding ticket it was, unless I'm remembering wrong. It was 10+ years ago. I always go about 9 over. Maybe 4 is better.

One thing I think about while driving is I want to minimize the amount of time I'm on the road. Most of the danger is because of other drivers. If I can just get to my destination and off the road it's safest. So I take that into mind while I'm driving. There's a balance and a trade off with driving speed. You want to get off the road as quick as you can, but not in a way that's dangerous.

When there's no body on the road it's a breeze driving. It's nice. Compared to driving with other people on the road it's terrible. It takes twice as long to get places. Stop and go. It sucks when there's someone in the passing lane and there's no one in front of them.

I'm pretty average but I've been trying to remember there's a lot of people who aren't as quick about making decisions and hand eye coordination with driving.

Yes. I have seen more accidents at the south Campbell light beneath the Jame River free way bridge than anywhere else in my life. It is at such frequency I am sure it is at least once a day.

I have witnessed these as they happen to.

I have pictures of one I watched happen. A few weeks ago at those lights. Right in front of me. I was at the light and watched it happen while waiting at the red.

Last year doing a door dash I saw a 3 car pile up and watch a man leave his vehicle then collapse. When ems showed up they just stood around and didn't help him. I'm convinced I watched that man die right in front of me and it bothers me a little knowing I might have been the last person he saw. And I was just stuck there at the left hand turn to beuna Vista.

I feel like I've heard Dec 13th in Ozark, but could easily be mixing up different dates for things.

You will never see employment ads before land purchases, building permits, etc locally.

I wanted to say that too but thought it might confuse them for me to speculate.

And wow I always put the furnace and appliances on their own circuit. Fridge circuit for the fridge. Furnace for the furnace. Stove for the stove. Tying the lights into that breaker? Why? Is it possible to daisy chain with different types of wire? Or am I just imagining something weird. The furnace would be 12-2 but we run lights in 14-2 or 14-3. Do they put them pn the same breaker at the panel or literally run a wire from the furnace to the switch??? Like furnace home run, carrier to the switch, 3 wires in the first switch receptacle (power, carrier, switch leg)?

Sorry got a tooth extracted and I'm pretty mentally exhausted

Republic store is open now.

Might want to check the spelling on the poster..SprinGfield not Sprinfield

Cruising Kearney is the worst. All summer boomers and burnout Xers going 20 down Kearney dreaming of yesteryear, and making sure to hit every red light so they can make a drive across town and make it take 60 min for fun.

Check the pharmacy inside the Turner Center (Cox). They had amoxicillin when no other pharmacy did.
