I'll answer your question, and then I'm done with this thread. I've been driving for 39 years.
So what's the deal with trucks driving right up on other drivers leaving no space?

Good. I didn't ask how long have you been driving. I asked how many tickets and accidents have you had. The fact that you didn't answer says all I need to know.
I tend to ignore those who preach to me who have been in more accidents and have more tickets than I do. -
Well supertrucker, it only takes ONE incident and all them miles and 25 years will go up in smoke if you rear-end somebody. I just pray you don't maim or kill anyone out there.

You're joking aren't you? Nobody could be that dense to think that 1 extra mph is that freakin' important. I usually run a few below my governed speed and have no problem with dropping it a few more. If you only have a couple of miles an hour on the person ahead of you it's not worth the effort to pass them in most cases IMO. -
And don't worry. I've never hurt anyone with my vehicle. I've even never harmed anyone with my plane and worked on airliners carrying hundreds of people, nobody harmed. I don't have a history of harming anyone in anything I do.
I'm not a super trucker, I just don't take ######## from anyone and y'all don't like that. Oh well. -
DenBob, Muddydog79 and BrandonCDLdriver Thank this.

If I see someone holding up the left lane I avoid it. That's an accident waiting to happen and I don't want to be part of it. I love watching the 4 wheelers get mad. I've seen bird flips and all kinds of stuff.
Don't brake check, its illegal and you can get pulled over for it.
Brake checking can easily be the cause of an accident. Thus brake checking can get you a huge ticket.Last edited: Feb 2, 2019
