I drive a car. What can I do, and avoid doing, to better share the road with trucks.

"I drive a car. What can I do, and avoid doing, to better share the road with trucks?"

Don't drive like they do in Florida.

 

Drive careful and safely. Always watch out for the other idiot, uh I mean driver and keep your distance

 

This is a great thread! People just need to read up car rules if they drive cars and also commercial drivers read up on commercial rules, and viceversa. There’s really nothing proven against accidents but knowledge and following the rules. Everyone does things now and then but when the behavior is reckless and add it speed/anger and stupidity is when we all become dangerous. Just be safe, follow speed limits, use your signals, turn off tour high beams when others are around you, move over when merging oncoming traffic COURTESY (you don’t really have to do this BUT it shows human decency!!) wear your seatbelt, don’t drink and drive, don’t tailgate, don’t stay aside of a truck, don’t engage in road rage situations (it’s a crime) don’t run yellow/red lights. Have a safe trip!!!

 

I don't know about different colors of lights.

Long ago in the bad old days some cities and particularly some PARTS of a given city, the lights were a liability. See predators gathering where they think you must stop.

STep back children mind the trailer tandems. Coming through.

Once in a rare while one will get up onto the catwalk and try to get my emergency line off.A bit fast J turn takes care of that. Scrapes him properly off that Catwalk back to pavement with a bounce. Then a little trailer jogging to miss his profanity howling butt by this much.

Just because I did these things did not make it legal, ok, correct or whatever. I happen to love the law, but I dislike killing people even more than that. So they get stupid once in a while. It might be a month before they are back in action.

 

Use ur turn signals when switching lanes or turning. Also keep ur eyes on the road and no distractions.

 

OH MY!! OMG!! WHERE TO BEGIN??
WELL OK, WILL JUST MENTION THE WORST!!
3 LANE HIGHWAYS
PLEASE USE THE LEFT LANE!!
TRUCKS ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO BE OR ALLOWED IN THE LEFT LANE.
SO IF CARS ARE IN THE LEFT LANE, THIS MEANS THEY ARE NOT IN THE MIDDLE OR RIGHT LANE..PERFECT!! LIKE OTHERS HAVE MENTIONED - STAY AWAY FROM TRUCKS AND KEEP THE DISTANCE ANYTIME POSSIBLE..FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE.
AND WHEN PASSING A TRUCK, PASS IN THE LEFT LANE.

 

Some of us take story time very seriously.

Hold my beer and let me tell you about the time my brakes went out on a 25% downgrade. By the time I reached the bottom I passed a large pile of burning cars from other travelers who didnt make it.
