Defensive Driving

Good point! It's ironic that you've mentioned this as my turn signal has been known to stick.
Usually a driver will look in the direction he is about to turn.

 

Thought of a new one the other day and had to dig this thread up. Wont apply to everyone. Your a smoker. Your parked in a ts when a placarded truck parks next to you. What do you do when ya want a smoke?

 

Yeah, as gashauler would point out, 25' from any placared truck. If the lot was packed id probally take a walk. But i did see one guy pulling a dry bulk tank with class 1 explosives (gunpowder i would assume) light up in his cab.

 

Keep them doggone High Beams turned off day or night unless absolutely needed.

 

Keep a constant scan around you and always expect the unexpected.
Proper trip planning so you know what exits you need and where your next turn will be.

 

Never assume. It makes an ### out of u and me. T-boned a Subie last week in town w/ personal car. Got out ask her why did you pull out in front of me? "I could'nt see". Wrong answer! For christ sakes a guy can't even drive a car in town anymore. I can't imagine the stress of operating a truck these days. No thanks.

 

You are right okiedokie. I just assumes it was gun powder cause i dont know what other explosives would be in a dry bulk tank. Either way, no smoking around class 1, or any hazmat for that matter.

 

Not really directed at you dirtyjerz. But your right better safe than sorry.
