    that's what I would have done.But far as scottie is concerned he does nothing wrong and makes a huge deal out of other drivers when in reality he's no better then they are.I see many things he did wrong.I'm not defending the other driver,he was in the wrong But scottie is also far from being a professional truck driver.

    Is there a regulation or law against running cruise control in a work zone? I remember back in the 1970's cruise control's big selling point was avoiding speeding tickets. What better place to use it than a work zone? Set the speed 1 mile per hour less than the limit and avoid a double fine. Calm down, we'll get through this together, just a couple miles don't freak out.

    No regulation that I know of but being in a construction zone is common sense to not have the cruise on...

    And if you cannot maintain your speed without the cruise you should seek a different line of work

    It's also common sense not to race each other into a construction zone. People work in them and if jct put it into the cones and into the work area and killed a worker, would you be satisfied that he didn't get your lane Scottie? Be the better driver give him the lane and carry on your day. The time it takes to back off the throttle would neither gain nor lose any time.

    If his lane was closing that fast and you watched him come up, put your truck in both lanes if you want. You like running like an idiot. Might as well own the road too.

    I watched it 3 times......

    You both suck...... Seems like he was going to back down until you brake checked the deal and then he romped on it...

    I work construction 9 months a year and see this crap all the time.

    It's crazy your an owner op. And in all you "lane ends" videos you post religiously, you drive like your truck doesn't matter. Like another run of the mill company driver.

    Oh I got video and my insurance will cover it.

    One day your gonna get caught Scottie. I personally think your doing the same as those people who brake check others for insurance claims.
     
    HalpinUout Thanks this.
