suicide zone

I noticed that Ohio now has signs along the highway that say "leave enough room" and an illustration of a trailer truck with and arrow pointing to twice the length of the truck in front of the truck. And it says "don't get a ticket". It illustrates that 4-wheelers need to leave more room before pulling in front of a truck. I can't see where it has done any good whatsoever. But, when I think the whole world is against trucks, it's nice to see that someone is making, at least, an effort, to help truckers in some small way. It's not much, but it's a step in the right direction.
Also, I have had people tell me they got a ticket for tailgating, wish that would happen more often...

I don't mind them tailgating, it's their problem if they hit me and it ain't gonna hurt me much, heck I might be lucky if I even feel it. It's the one's who chop me off just to make a turn 200 ft later and do it with a young child in the car. I hate it when a person does that and I see that safety seat in there.

rear enders

I was just talking with a friend who lives in Massachusetts. He says it's been a common thing around there to pull in front of someone and hit the brakes and then sue them for hitting them. Until recently. Someone tried to do that in front of a big truck. He couldn't stop, and went right over the car and killed everyone in it. Not a pretty sight. So, I guess they've calmed down a bit, but I sure wish the cops would write more tickets for that. I still have people cutting in front of me all the time.

Yah, getting cut off by cars is a definite problem. Maybe that's why I see some 18 wheelers in the hammer lane; they figuer that way, it's less likely to get cut off?

Biggest complaint about 4-wheelers... UMMmmm......... Let's see......

Wish they could come up with a "COMMON SENSE" test that they had to pass in order to get their license. Of course, it would be the 4-wheelers that would be coming up with that test, and it would make no sense at all, so that idea is dead.

But if they did use just a little common sense, we would not need P.A.T.T. or C.R.A.S.H. We could keep the roads nice and safe without them.

Georgia has signs much like Ohio. "LEAVE MORE ROOM AND AVOID A TICKET". But, unfortunately, the 4-wheelers don't know how to read signs either. Sign says the exit is coming up in 2 miles, but they're out in that left lane, then just before the exit, they have to get across 3 lanes of traffic to get the exit. Can't read road signs. Something to do with the colors of the sign?????

All of the above plus more.

My biggest complaint is when they are coming up on you and they flas their highbeams (at night) so you can SEE them. Damn foriegners from that country to the west of my state :lol:

Maybe they CAN'T READ at all!
I picked up a load of lumber in NY last week and they guy in front of me couldn't read, write or speak English. The shipper told me that his dispatcher called and told him what to do: "just show him where to sign, he'll be all right". Then he drove through a stop sign and proceeded out the entrance gate. With truckers like that, and most assuredly, 4 wheelers too, it's no wonder they are in the wrong lane and doing stupid stuff at the last minute. They can't read because they can't read!
