I use the word idiot often to describe many truck drivers.
I have seen some pretty crappy driving. Some very poorly trained steering wheel holders on the road and it seems to be getting worst.
Here are two examples.
Had an idiot driving his truck in the far left lane a week ago, in this state over two lanes trucks are allowed in the right two only except for exiting.
He was driving it over 75 mph and was jamming it up people rears to get them out of the way.
Until the idiot got behind the undercover car that one city uses for traffic stops.
He was pulled over and I know the cop wasn't happy. On the return trip an hour later, the truck was still in thenside of the road, state police was tearing into the cab and it looked like the guy was in handcuffs.
And idiot.
Another example of an idiot is this steering wheel holder working for swift got lost as decided to make a Uturn.
There were a number of problems, first was the HUGE sign that said "no Uturn proceed to round about" in huge letters and with flashing lights on it.
And the second is the fact that you can't do a uturn on that road with a 53 foot trailer, only an idiot would try to do that stupid move.
A third problem is there are a number of telephone poles and power poles right next to the road.
So what happened is this idiot made a uturn.
This idiot did it without waiting for traffic to clear, he almost caused a few accidents.
This idiot made the turn an then realized that his truck has to be backed up to make it over the curb and he attempted that but then hit on of the telephone poles, and tried to maneuver around to get out of the situation which he only made it worst.
So as I sat there for 30 minutes watching the cops close down the road and not being able to go anywhere on a road that very busy with the radio reporting it was backed up for a mile, I saw a tow truck pull up on the other side and hook up to the truck to drag it straight back in the road. The tow truck wasn't nice about tanking it either, the move caused damage to the hood where it was stuck on the pole, ripped up the skirting and bet damaged the front end.
This is why I use the word idiot.G13Tomcat Thanks this. -
