    Holy fright Batman, bad "Shift" happens when we go into neutral on the road. Stay sharp and focused friends.

    How about looking further ahead than the hood of your truck?

    I had a similar incident, without the crash, happen up by Baltimore, I saw traffic and started slowing down, another truck goes blasting by , the has to lock the brakes to keep from hitting the cars stopped in front of him, he gets on the radio and say, "I didn't see the traffic stopping." I replied back, "Why do you think I was slowing down with my flashers on?"

    Good one.
    I saw a sign with this at South Eastern Freight I went to pick up a load, and they had that sign right at the gate as you leave their site.

    A: Because you're stupid. The first thing that pops into the head of a motorist when a vehicle slows is "What's this idiot doing?" instead of suspecting they might have a good reason to lift off the throttle. Second-guessing other vehicle operators has become a national pastime.
