Headlights On While Backing In A Truckstop

Leave the brakes on, as is the case in mostof life, apply torque, problem soved...

 

Who has the "right of way" entering/exiting truck stops? Is it more courteous to let the outbound go first?

 

put a curtain on your windshield,

 

I drove a Prostar who's DLR's were the low beam's at a slightly lower luminance. At night, when a driver was backing in, to them there was very little difference between normal low and the DLR's. The only option was set my brakes. I usually tried to aim my truck away from the cab of the truck backing in.

As for the idiots who go to sleep with their headlights on, 2 options...duct tape or wire snips. Their trainer probably taught them to park with their marker lights on, but after an exhaustive fight to get backed in without hitting any one, they collapsed in their bunk and didn't realize they forgot to turn off the headlights.

 

Ok, thanks. These "unwritten" rules are harder to learn.

The ratio of ####### to good drivers makes it harder, too.

 

Maybe if you just went to bed instead of staring out at the parking lot like if it were some entertainment channel then you wouldn't have to be blinded by them!

Nothing erks me more than seeing guys just staring at others backing into spots.

 

I keep my lights on when I back in. I don't see it to be a problem though. That's what the curtains are for.

 

Can't turn mine off unless brakes are set so...
