    By not calling you are basically defending,too many are so concerned about being labeled a snitch or rat.How many deaths could be prevented if someone had been a snitch or a rat?

    The way I look at it is this....I have to believe that the ones who stand up for drivers who commit dangerous acts on highways more than likely do the same garbage...

    Frankly...if you can't drive as a professional cdl holder...then hangs the keys up because you have NO business being out here..

    this job is already inherently dangerous without some clown totally disregarding others safety out here.

    And if that someone was someone he personally knew, he would wish there were more rats on the road.

    This isn't about going after someones job. It's about calling in the dangerous drivers so we can make the roads safer.

    On another note: A couple of weeks ago I tried to call in a complaint about a FedEx Ground truck that passed me like I was standing still, when I was driving the posted speed limit through a live construction zone. No one at the safety department answered the phone, so I went over FedEx and called State Police. Needless to say, about 40 miles down the road I caught back up with that FedEx driver, who was accompanied by 5 troopers and sitting on the side of the highway. After all the recent accidents in construction zones due to speeding trucks not being able to stop, any given department will jump all over that FedEx driver like white on rice. There is no room for that kind of BS on our roads, and I don't give a rats how late you are.

    i dont know

    how many, please tell us, at least we could bolster your decision to create distrust amongst drivers

    how many people have been killed by me driving 70 in a 65? or me not sleeping 10hrs a day?

    o, you cant answer that, I can. ZERO

    but lets forget the facts, lets deal with what COULD HAVE happened? i figure about 200 people would have been killed by me not sleeping 10hrs a day, so maybe you need to call DOT and tell them how a danger to the road I am because people COULD have gotten killed

    its one thing to discuss your position on a situation

    its another thing to project what COULD HAVE happened

    and its ludicrous for you to tell me what i wish or not wish in life. you dont know me at all

    so save the pontification, it has no merit
     
    snowblind Thanks this.
