Every one or thing on the road is an obstacle.

Of course. I should have been more specific in that I wanted to know more of the "out of ordinary" things - such as Amish buggies, tractors, etc...

Boneheads that park on the wrong side of the street- talking state highway, not in town- to get their mail. Really fucking annoying when you're trying to find a place to pass, and get headlights where they should not be.

And then there are the idiots that slow to a crawl in their own lane, then move into the opposing lane, then stop to make a left turn. For crying out loud, just turn from your own damn lane! I could take that turn three times faster and not hold up traffic in both directions.

well there was a window or door screen in the middle of the road today, I turned around to move it, but a car had already stopped to move it by that time.

Also had two roosters and a turkey in the road today.

An orange metal "Construction Ahead" sign laying flat in the middle of the road.

A 5 inch thick rectangle cone base. I moved it out of the way one evening and it was in the same place the next day. Fuckers.



I had a 4x8 sheet of plywood fly over me once. Was on a curved over pass behind my brother. He hit the plywood, the wind caught it, wind picked it up, and it would have taken my head off if I didn't duck.
