Here are today’s Clovers!
The first is another Truck Bro Clover. Two of them, actually. One is slowing everyone down; the other is riding the slow Bro’s bumper. But he won’t pass the slow Bro (maybe because that would be illegal):
The second Clover is the Original Gangster Prius Clover:

“But he won’t pass the slow Bro (maybe because that would be illegal)” -Eric
Last summer I got pulled over for passing a slow dump truck (with bits of insulation and cardboard blowing out of his uncovered load heading for the dump) over a double solid line. Golly gosh! The law enforcer said it was dangerous, as people turning on to the oncoming lane might not see me (but admitted he didn’t see the construction material flying out). It was a straight section of highway where I could see for at least a mile, sunny day with dry pavement, sport sedan with new tires… so I derisively laughed at his safety speech. When he went to run my (completely clear) license, wife was worried about me giving him attitude, but I told her he wasn’t going to give me a ticket.
He returned and started with the speech that he’s “doing me a big favor with just a warning” so I’ve waited until the seven months a year where snow and ice obscure the lines until spring – to blow past the clovers.
Good grief.
Morning, Arctic!
Glad you “got away” with your “unsafe” driving! I recommend a good radar detector to reduce such instances in the future.
Prius, Japanese for homosexual.
As for the Ram drivers, so much for testosterone poisoning. I drove my old Ram aggressively, he’s a disgrace to the Brotherhood.
Meanwhile, I had this kid in front of me in some shitbox omw to the coffee shop in the left lane I had to flash and honk to move over, I thought it was a girl at first, he was just one of those dopey looking a-rabs. Who the fuck is teaching people to drive, their dead mothers?
Eric, seems apparent to me that you are getting CDS, or clover derangement syndrome, worse and worse. It eats at you.
Growing up in my urban-burban area it has never been worse and it is eating my brain away.
How do I know? Cause when I spend 4-5 months in our rural place I calm down.
I wish you well, cause it’s not easy to deal with.
I agree, Chris –
I am sensitive to Clovers because i lived among them for many years in Northern Va. I moved – more than 20 years ago – to get away from the Clovers and it was wonderful for awhile. You’d occasionally encounter one but they were few and the road was usually wide-open so you could just get around them. But then came the “pandemic” – and lots of Clovers moving to my once-rural area, bringing their Northern Va driving habits with them. And the roads are now busy, because the population density has increased markedly. I had hoped to live where I am forever. But I realize I may have to move to get away from the Clovers, who increase like the damned vines that inundate my fence line!
Prius Clover thinks that the passing lane is the “through traffic” lane. Left turns in the middle turning lane, right turns in the right lane, and if you’re just moving through use that left lane. That’s not correct of course, both lanes are through traffic lanes. But the left lane won’t have all the right turns that the right lane does so it feels like it should be used for through traffic. But that’s a violation of the “keep right except to pass” rule that is pretty much universal for all multi lane roads.
