.. you don't really understand that that thing that's bigger than your apartment is actually MOVING, and can NOT stop on a dime.

You think that a truck goes so slow that you acually pull out in front of them thinking they will not have to slow down anyways.



Seen this happen many of times both pulling into the same lane of the truck and going across to the other lane (Im talking about 2 lane roads here). People need to have respect...

When your on a 4 or 5 lane freeway on the inside lane then jump across all the other lanes getting to the exit in the nick of time cutting off big trucks and miss getting hit by a fraction of your life.

You ride beside a truck for miles without slowing or speeding up with their turn signal on despite the fact you were originally passing them.

You might be a 4 wheeler if.

You hang off the drivers side rear corner of my trailer in the hammer lane at night with your headlights shinning directly in my mirror not speeding up or slowing down just staying right there with your brights in my eyes..

Even though im not a trucker I would like to contribute something I saw on saturday at the tolls on I-95 through nh.

You know your a 4 wheeler when you refuse to let a truck get into the TRUCK toll lane. This happened saturday, some lady refused to budge for this guy and when he finally said "either move or i'll run you over she proceeds to hammer on the horn for about 1 minute straight.

I can't call that woman what I would like to on here, but I'm sure you all have enough imagination to figure out at least some of it! I hope that driver did run her over! Not really, but that sort of behavior makes me mad no matter who they do it to!

If you think because you are hauling a tiny uhaul trailer, driving a uhaul, or an rv you should park in the TRUCK spots.

Unfortunately, some of the rest areas/service plazas along toll roads designate that trucks and RV's park in the same area.
