Almost caused another wreck

I know a guy that got 2 tickets for that in Texas on I-10 and also our safety guy was a retired state trooper and told us if we move over in that situation and are involved in an accident, we are at fault. All I'm doing is posting from my experience.

 

I am with you all the way man. I dont know what attracts cars to want to sit in your blindspot or right by your rear trailer...Drives me nuts. car drivers are so god #### stupid. I wish I could make a compilation of all the dumb #### cars do on video and send it lawmakers to show them that truckers arent the problem. I really do hate 4 wheelers...


My truck has that vorad crap where if it senses a car within 20 feet I think its locking up the brakes.

 

Unknown to me too. Where is this?

 

If you took no physical lane change action, you did nothing wrong, nothing. But I'm sure you scared the BeJezus outta her.

I dont signal until I actually plan on making the move, which is when there is actually room to make to move. If I cant make the move, screw the followers. If your behind me, I dont really care, if you hit me, its your fault. Thats what the insurance company said.

 

I don't know how the ticket was worded, but it's an improper lane change to do that. Maybe it's not enforced much, but the guy with 2 tickets became a believer.

 

Nope cause you didn't move or start merging. She's riding your blind spot or even passing you on the right which the passing on the right is illegal. I do the same turning my signal on especially running LCV cause you don't want to be in the left lane. I'm to the point were I won't move for these idiots who don't know how to merge. Don't want to be switching lanes with 80-110k for one idiot when you can cause alot of carnage by doing unneccesary lane changes.

 

I'm not a big rig driver, yet. Just have my B. I, too, always thought you were supposed to merge left to allow traffic to merge, so long as it was clear and safe to do so. Now I'm going to think twice about doing so.
I can tell you there are 2 things that really tick me off. One is yacking on the phone when driving, especially on the highway! And the other is people who refuse to use their signal lights. I'm not a mind reader people!
Frankly, that woman in your OP was an idiot, an accident looking for a place to happen. Luckily, she didn't find it next to you.
