| I dont drive big trucks; but I do haul hay w/my pickup; the other night some dude was tailgating me BAD (so tempting to hit the breaks lol); I can only go 45-50mph, and he had all the room in the world to pass me. When the road turned 2 lane, he flew by me, flipping me off and honking; wtf?? I cant go 60 w/a full load of hay! I can only imagine how ticked-off you guys get w/the big trucks. |

question,, BEFORE he started tailgating you, did you pull out in front of him and then go 45 mph? that's how it usually goes.. |

H*ll no; I know better than that. I was already on the road long before he came along. |

Looks to me like a police video from a chase???
I hate to see sheet like that, makes me want to stay home....
Take a look at truckcrash.com and see more of the carnage. Since I saw that website I started following even further back! I now try to maintain at least 5 seconds of space between me and the car ahead of me. I guess it's a given that cars will pull right in front of me after passing, they just don't realize what a safe following distance is. But when big rigs pull in front of me with about a car length of room, it P's me off even worse. Are there anymore professional truckers left? What ever happened to waiting for a trucker to flash his lights before pulling back in front of him? I rarely get my hand to the light switch before the truck is already in front of me! Do I sound bitter? Sorry, I hate whiners, but after having several trucks cut me off last week, I'm sort of fed up. I think most on this forum know better, judging from the posts, so I'm just venting here, not blaming... hope you don't mind :x
Peace out, Riff Raff. |

| That was a police chase in South Carolina. If memory serves me right, it was a guy and a girl, mid 20's who had stolen a lawnmower or something which was in the back of the truck. Semi never had a chance to slow up. The pursuing officer saw it coming and knew they were dead before they got run over. |

| Dammm, that is a nasty video ! I feel bad for the trucker. The problem I have with 4-wheelers is they drive on the same roads we do ! :twisted: |

Thanks, I needed a good laugh! I just drove 650 miles in the Northeast, on a Friday, that can dampen anyones spirits! Don't they have turn signals up here? (Love the Avatar!) My teacher said "no peaking" |
