Get a faster truck and break away from the wolf pack.

Yep we have all seen your use of "judgement" before.....

The only thing I see that you did wrong, was tell these guys about it

I saw a truck tonight, I think it was a Heartland Express with a shiny hiny, and (I guess) the driver had written in the dust on the back doors...

"Hang up the phone and DRIVE!"

I thought this might work for Kevin. Then I remembered he drove for Swift, and I think he said something about struggling to get up to 62. So, I doubt anyone BUT a TMC driver would get a chance to read the message! :rofl::rofl::thumbsup:

What gets me, is all you busting my balls for 'doing the same' as that TMC driver driving with an elbow and right hand, forgetting to check his mirrors but once a half hour. You say we were both distracted/not paying attention to the road. But let me ask this. I want one driver on this board, to get on here and tell me they drive with full 100% attention, 100% of the time the truck is in motion. Just one. And if anybody tells me they do, ill tell them they're full of chit. You may have both hands on the wheel, looking a mile down the road and side to side, ready for anything. But if you talk on the CB, snack on that 'big grab' bag of chips on your dash, look at a Randy McNally, scratch your balls or whatever....then guess what, you're as bad as me taking a camera out of my storage bin right over my head, turning it on and snapping a picture taking my eyes off the road for a second.

if you tune your radio, look at your wris****ch, throw something into your trash bin, adjust your seat and/or mirrors, bever hunting....there are alot of things (and you know what they are) that distract you from 100% focus on the road when you're driving. Ain't nobody on this board can tell me they have 100% attention 100% of the time

If YOU were paying ATTENTION to what YOU were doing you wouldnt have been next to TMC at all! I71 doesnt go WEST and it doesnt go to INDY! I think the TMC driver was on the cell getting directions to the consinee in COLUMBUS (via I71) cause last time he asked for directions on the CB some retard Swift driver steered him the wrong way!:rofl:

Permit me to clarify your question.

How many of you, when confronted with a dangerous situation, ie a distracted driver, agree that the appropriate response is to compound the dangerous situation by introducing one more dangerous element, ie another distracted driver, into the mix?

If Harry hay hauler encroaches into my lane while opposing me on a NE 2, my reaction should be:

a) Reach for the trusty Polaroid and shoot for a Pulitzer, or

b) Take every step necessary to avoid Harry?

There hasn't been a single reply here that didn't acknowledge your frustration with a nuisance driver; it happens to everyone of us, every single day. Your kahonies are getting kicked around because of your boneheaded reaction. Your preposterous denials have risen to the level of matcatishness.

I have driven with full 100% attention, 100% of the time the truck is in motion. :smokin: :moon:

let me ask you...have you EVER taken a sip of coffee/soda/water while driving? Have you ever snacked on anything while driving? Lit up a cigarette while driving? Tuned your radio? Reached up to grab your mic and talk on the radio? Farted? (just kidding) Went bever hunting? Daydream about getting home ro your lady friend (or guy friend?) after being out for 7 days? Wondering about how you're going to replace that lawnmower that just went out on you last week? Worry about anything personal?? Get my point? there isn't one driver on the road who can say they drive 100 and 100.

Anybody who has done anything close to what was mentioned above, is no better than a driver who snaps a couple pictures without taking his eyes off the road for but a couple seconds. If you check your mirrors, you take your eyes off the road for 5 seconds every minute....so whats the difference? you're not paying attention to whats in front of you for a second or two when you check your mirrors.
