Re: Stebel Air Horn
WW, all good points and certainly something to consider, although at the time I was running high beams but it was daylight and therefore a little less visible. The "pulsating"
lights would definitely get people's attention better. One of my co-workers was hit last Friday while out getting lunch. Somebody turned left right in front of him and he
ended up smashing his crash bars up and they wrapped around his leg and pinned him to the bike until the paramedics got there. Bad cut on his leg and a really swollen knee
were his main injuries, I guess he was lucky that he didn't T-bone the car. Still he missed several days of work, will take several weeks to heal up and smashed up his bike
too. I guess traffic is bad everywhere, but it seems like Atlanta drivers are always in a hurry and trying to squeeze the last little bit out of every commute. The traffic here
is usually bumper to bumper and you still see people weaving in and out like they could actually get somewhere significantly faster by doing so. Crazy! I can't remember the
last time I went anywhere down here that I didn't have to "dodge" somebody to keep from getting run over at some point during the trip. I've gotten so gun shy about it
that I have gone out of my way to find side streets that don't put me in heavy traffic even though it may add 25% to my normal trip time. Atlanta has a lot more job and
educational opportunities than my home town, but I hate living here because of the traffic and the crime. I'd have to get an amazing job offer to keep me here after
college is over. I'll take less pay and smaller town life over this mess any day.
