Truckers Teach Cars A Lesson

Not that I advocate creating a car sandwich, but. . .

 

it reminds me of smokey and the bandit scene

 

As many trucks as there is on the road, it would be to everyones benefit to have more knowledge of our industry. Especially when it comes to being on the road with all of us. To better understand us is to love us. heehee!!!!

 

Canadians can expect a lot of this in Ontario when the speed limiter bill takes effect

 

Okay... the queen of dumb questions has returned to the boards.

What lesson is it that they are teaching the four-wheeler here? And after the car exited on the right, the rear truck closed the gap... and I'm curious if this was considered a safe following distance for the rear truck? Now I'm wondering if I leave too much room between myself and a truck traveling in head of me.

 

According to this professional driver you need 2 or 3 car lengths to stop a truck . http://www.wbir.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=60781&catid=2

 

I'm glad one of the other readers picked up on it, too....

Heck, I can't even stop my CAR in 2 to 3 car lengths in most cases.

But I still can't figure out what lesson the truckers were trying to teach the four-wheeler in this clip.

 

Try 2 or 3 football fields..... I think IN is writing drivers if they have less than 150 feet.

 

Teaches the 4 wheeler a good lesson
