    If you could talk to the other motorists on the road (cars, motorcycles, anybody), what would you tell them about how to drive around trucks?

    Don't ride next to me. If you're gonna pass then pass me. Don't fiddle #### around deciding what to do

    Incoherent cursing until they're out of my sight either behind me or ahead. That's the ones that need talking to.

    Concentrate on the road instead of the phone.

    There is more but I only have 94% battery left on this phone so not enough time to even try to finish the list.

    Always wanted an "info board" on my back doors. Not so much to cuss out the tailgaters, but that a real person is driving this truck and my family is waiting for me to come home.
