Following distance

i see that crap day in and day out!
lead by example i say!!!!

 

Was that in Quebec or northern Ontario?

 

I thought it was OPP. Was not sure of Ontario. Only been north out of Toronto once and it was 4 lane.

Looked like the hills around St. Lawrence seaway.

 

Passing is also something that can be very dangerous...when we pass, we should only pass if we have the speed to do so, It's dangerous to pass and then linger next to the truck we're passing for miles and miles...

Also when we pass, the truck we're passing shouldn't have to slow down to let us back in...

 

but what the heck does that have to do with a safe following distance?
"IF YOU CAN'T SEE MY MIRRORS, I CAN'T SEE YOU"!!!

 

I saved some fool today and a tanker driver. I was on 431 S in TN and some stupid 4 wheeler passes 4 vehicles at one time. The last one was into a curve on a 2 lane highway and I thought surely he ain't gonna pass me as well. Yep. I got on the brake to let the fool around and he barely cleared me before hitting a tanker head on. If I would have not braked he would be dead. You hear all these things about truckers. I wonder how many 4 wheelers are spared a year by a defensive driving trucker?

 

They talk about black boxes for trucks. Too bad they don't use on board cruiser cameras to ticket LEO's

 

wouldn't THAT be nice.
