There is also the concept of photo cells on the vehicle itself. This would only charge during the daytime of course and would be a very slow charge rate. Perfect strategy for a commuter car, poor choice for a transport vehicle.

While Texas is a right leaning state (ie. Republican), the capitol city of Austin is very left (ie. Democrat) with plenty of limousine liberal tree hugging politically correct environmental crazies.

Given the beast you drive, it's not surprising, I suppose, that some are downright terrified.

I'd say, mission accomplished.

Kerbstone.

Prevent - Kerb / curb
rock - stone.

... and a Kerbstone is the edge of a paved way.

I was looking for CURBSTONE, but KERBSTONE is a variant spelling and I'll allow it.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
