Road Rage or Self-proclaimed highway vigilante..

Damaged Goods an Deisel Drinker.

While I will admit In the past I have had road rage in a POV against another POV.. What you the OP did was unsafe and honestly stupid. You put yourself and others in danger there is a reason your suppose to stay out of that lane.... Diesel you don't have the right or authority to control or try and control anyone let alone a fellow trucker on the road. This is the reason I have cameras in my Vehicles that way proof of the idiots on the road.

Have a great day and be safe out there!!!

 

What gets me is slowing down to get back behind the truck was never an option to the OP.

 

I thought the same exact thing even was going to post it and got sidetracked . We've all been there, swung out to pass vehicle speeds up, hill slows you down, whatever you back out of it put on your signal and get back over when you can.

 

This trucker in a 4 wheeler do not play games like that no way. What I DO is examine all rigs carefully and stay far away from them. Once in a while on that 67 there are some who demonstrate professionalism in being steady and correct with traffic, Im usually number two in the rear. But never too close.

Brake checking a big truck is one of the worst most dangerous things anyone can do, Ive been set up to try and have me hit a packed 4 wheeler more times than I can count. Managed not to hit them thank god. I value my freedom.

This is my last post on this thread. Bottom line, life for me is different because there are many road ragers here in Arkansas over the smallest of problems. And as a concealed carry I cannot allow myself or my vehicle with friends inside to be a part of that mess potentially leading towards a draw. shoot. No thank you. Ive seen a life times worth.

To the one driver who has a issue with my many employers, in those days you can literally walk out from a bad company and be rolling by the end of a week in another truck with like a 20 minute road test to see how you are. You changed jobs to improve your situation, One had power steering, bingo. Joined. Next offered both powersteering then air con bingo hired. Then air ride... follow me so far? My last year out there in 2009 when I went blind prior to surgery, I was with a employer for years. Same with FFE and others. No worries.

Im one of those people who consider the entire USA and parts of Canada home. It does not matter where you go as long you are happy wherever you are. If certain attachments are no longer valid in Arkansas, I would be out of here easy. No problem. However this is home for better or worse, no matter what kind of employers are out there.

 

I never get in a hurry, especially in town. What's the point. Obey the laws and mind my own business. Heck I even wave at the cops. Those in the know aren't caught up in the whole rat race of society. Your in a different place and frame of mind. I pity the subs in their frantic stupor.

 

Nah there's no excuse to have had 40+ jobs many of which you've been fired from. So continue.

 

"Enhance your calm."

You know how when you're young, you try to be cool for your goofy friends and some stupid girl? When you get a little older, you mellow out. Being mellow is peaceful. But being cool is the ability to remain perfectly calm during crisis. You have to learn to be cool.

Cool is the ultimate form of self control. Simply put, if someone can piss you off, they can control you. How does that sound? Unappealing, isn't it?

In order to perfect your craft, "enhance your calm."

Luck in battle, friend.

 

This is

Of course! Besides, there is a number of psychos, ex cons, guns and knives bearing lunatics. The very fact that someone displays aggressiveness, there is a chance for escalation and confrontation, so with that in mind consider your action. Getting into fight might be costly. People very easy lose their cool even when you are 1 sec late after the red light turns green.

 

Very good post six.

It took me years to learn that resentment and anger towards others only damages yourself.

Learning to be the water, and not the rock , in the stream -

 

When you see them start matching your speed it's time to put the turn signal on.
