    Tip to new drivers...follow the signs...traffic....road paint...etc.

    This was taken on my route down in Utah...the road splits and goes east in a one way direction...(east)...Im going west on the west bound one way. The east bound is two lanes going straight at the stop light, two right turning lanes, and I think two left lanes...maybe just one.

    Either way, somehow the Werner driver got confused and turned onto this one way, against the flow of traffic. This was last week. I didnt think to say anything on the CB...could have told him to drive up another truck length and turn left...across all the lanes of traffic and go around a block back to the main road.

    Are you suggesting that only Werner drivers make mistakes? If not perhaps you should rethink your position unless you have never made a mistake instead of an attempt at humor from someone elses' misfortune.

    No no, only swift drivers make mistakes. Werner drivers challange the status quo!

    >.>

    Rules were made to be broken right! <.<

    Still, haha I'd have laughed at him going the wrong way.
