Now, now folks. It's a "four-wheeler trick" because you're sitting in the cab of a big truck. But from the driver's seat of my four-wheeler, I've seen plenty of "18-wheeler tricks" -- many of them the same as those you're identifying as poor four-wheeler driving behaviors.
I realize this is a trucker's forum, so I try to bite my tongue when ya'll come down on us "idiot four-wheelers" because I know there ARE plenty of lousy drivers out there... but I saw plenty of stupid tricks by truckers during my most recent trip to and from Michigan.
It swings both ways.

Don't get me wrong Ducks, I know there are alot of you out there that care and are looking out for us. Alot of us do the same thing for you guys. The fact that you are here, a a 4 wheelere, that just scores you extra points with me as far as I'm concerned!!Ducks Thanks this. -
I believe that Ohio has signs at construction zones telling you to use the left left because the shoulder is softer when they are working on bridges.

We all drive the same roads and I just wish there was more respect among the various classes of vehicles out there -- be it four-wheelers, big trucks, busses, motorcycles, bicyclists, emergency responders... and even pedestrians. A good portion of the population has bestowed upon itself a "me first" attitude, and there's just no place for that on the road. "Me first" can be annoying in social situations, expensive in legal issues, but it can be deadly on the roads. <sigh>
Thanks again, dumptrucker, for taking the time to respond to my concern.18wheeldumptrucker Thanks this. -
But, I won't pretend there aren't bad drivers in the 18-wheelers--just sometimes the 4-wheelers aren't aware of why we're doing what we're doing and it can make it look like we're driving reckless.
