    But you never had a guy jumping in front of your truck at 3 AM and another one trying to disconnect your air lines when you slowed down enough to avoid running over the first guy, have you?
    When trying to deliver a meat load to Hunts Point Market.
    Just my wild guess. I could be wrong, though.

    I’m more disappointed I’m not in any of the photos. God knows I love to scare the 4wheelers in NYC :D

    If you really love it, maybe you should try harder.
    This is a message from GOD, by the way.
    No, I'm not a Prophet.
    Thank you for asking.

    I just like scaring them by getting close when they knew they should have stopped behind the lines. Not actually driving like a maniac lol.

    I lost count of how many luxury cars I saw crushed at the GWB Toll Plaza.
    All of them trying to squeeze in front of a long and square hooded truck.
    All coming from the right, in a huge blind spot from the truck driver.
    All being hit in the same spot: The B pillar right behind the car driver.
    A little view of the GWB toll plaza to better illustrate:
     
    Vampire and Siinman Thank this.

    They do that all the time. The NYC 4 wheelers also love to take the merge ramp and exit only lanes to bypass some of the traffic and attempt to force theirselves in from the truck’s blind spots. That’s why if I see a certain amount of them doing that I’ll eventually split the lane. I get horn honks and middle fingers but honestly I stopped caring they can find some other idiot to risk an accident with. Actually strike that I’ve also seen the class B trucks doing that too.

    My dad told me that the police told him not to stop at lights for that reason.

    When I drove out of the Navy Yard, Rudy was mayor. Enough said!

    How tall were you? There are a couple bridges on Linden Blvd marked as 12'4" but don't look like they've been hit, so I'm hoping I'd be OK at 13'6." Thanks! Linden low bridge_Page_1.jpg
