    ... four wheelers?

    I try to be more cautious around all you drivers out there, however I can't always be perfect. What are some things that four wheelers do that really erks you as soon as it happens? We all have to share the road, so wishing everybody else off of it wouldn't be an option, but what do you wish all drivers would stop doing? (Pass to fast, pass too slow, draft your trailer, etc.)

    I think that most professional drivers would agree that unsafe lane changes are among the most aggravating and dangerous things that four-wheelers do.

    Checking seat covers is very distracting. Oh, you mean what do 4-wheelers do!

    Think ahead; look ahead, look around. Leave yourself a way out of trouble. It's better to act before a problem occurs than react to a problem occurring. Much of the trouble out there is people not realizing traffic is slowing, or their exit is coming up, until they're right on top of it.

    And please, don't take our mistakes as a personal challenge or affront. We make errors too, and exacting revenge or asserting your 'right' to be where we're going might kill you and others with you.

    The vast majority of four wheelers are doing a great job on the highways; they're not noticed because everyone is concentrating on the spectacular idiots.

    In general I would say be more courtious and less selfish. You dont need to be in such a hurry all the time. My biggest pet peeve, in a truck or something else, are folks getting infront of me then slowing down. Like to take the next turn or exit.

    I almost forgot, put down the dang phone and pay attention to driving.
