I agree on having a dash cam. I was making a left turn from an off ramp today that is only one lane. A 4 wheeler decided to come around me on the shoulder to make a left and get in front of me. My truck is a long nose 379 so I couldn't see him until he was in front of my truck. Then he pulls into a parking lot a 1/2 mile up the road. Me being young and fired up, I decided to pull in and let him know how I really felt.

WATCH the video at the 10 sec mark you can see him wiggle the trailer over (right left of the steering wheel)then straight then fades over and stop's 1/2 in the next lane as 4 more bikes pass then get back in the left lane..... no way he didn't see them coming..... 1 bike maybe but 4 spaced that far apart he HAD IT SEE them....

Did you see the brake light? Had I been watching his friends in the mirror what would have happened?
Sorry I forgot it's perfectly OK to pull in front of truck and apply the brakes.
So I drifted right, they dropped the hammer when the signal came on.
The road was littered with gators that day, would have been great had there been some when they jumped out from behind the Marten truck.Logan76, Rigbuilder, cetanediesel and 1 other person Thank this. -
Bikers ALWAYS ride like that!! They're the worst! Always wanting YOU to watch them ,instead of being accountable!!
Nothing new.

the simple fact is if a cop saw all of it YOU would be the one getting the ticket for ROAD RAGE and your dash cam would be all they would need -
