    As this Thanksgiving holiday approaches, and the traffic that comes with it....PLEASE NOTE
    that 45 seconds you spend behind an 18-wheeler to reach your exit,
    the 3 seconds you forfeit to allow another car to get onto the interstate,
    passing that 18-wheeler on the right, in the blind-spot, for that extra 4 seconds..
    passing on a country 2-lane, on a double yellow, just because it's 2 AM

    Are these few seconds of a LIFETIME....
    WORTH, your family's lives???

    A truck, can NOT"stop on a dime". Truckers watch out for YOU.
    Please, watch out for us.
    WE have families, too.

    Think about this, PLEASE.

    Love,
    A truck drivers wife

    The font you're using is awful hard to read, about like a long run on sentence.

    At least to me.

    Sorry, Paul But, the message is still the same. And, Thank you Tank Hauler, for making it more readable.

    Somethings you keep to yourself. Tilt your head to the right! :biggrin_25522: I thought it had a little artistic flare to it.

    All the mispelled words and 2000 word sentences some make, you done a fine job Betty Boop!

    The post still remains the same. If only millions could read it and actually understand it, lives could be saved. Saving seconds and even minutes is not a fair trade off for your life.

    Stay safe on the roads!

    Be extra patient and make allowances for other people and the mistakes they make. Don't forget to watch out for pedestrians as well as other drivers.Try to keep your attention on what you are doing. Not only could they cause you to make a mistake, but cell phones, eating and other distractions keep you from paying attention to other people and the silly errors they can make.
