    Hate doing round abouts because of 4 wheelers.

    For some reason its quite common for truckers coming into this one to fail to see the signage indicating the right lane is for thru traffic and the left lane is for the next exit, so they just fly into the roundabout in the left lane and shoot straight thru, often cutting off other vehicles. Its a roundabout. Do the loop of shame and exit in the proper lane FFS.

    I think a lot of the problems over here with roundabout’s is indicating. I’ve noticed not too many people indicate if they are coming round so I think he is going off and then I pull out. Obviously he then thinks I’m a knob for pulling out in front of him. Also I think they could do a little better with the design especially for trucks.

    I signal out of the roundabout, that’s the actual turn in my opinion.

    Very nice job at parking. You may have a genius knock on the door wondering why you’re taking up 2 spots.

    16 wide = 2 parking spaces.
    That piece is expensive, then customer will add on 250k for downtime. But I would get to take it back to mfg at full fare.
    I have had idiots back next to me almost rubbing my mirrors and get mad at me for laying on the horn.
    You should see me park when I’ve got a wide jet engine worth 15 million.

    Had a 14 wide that I parked next to a 16 wide and some genius came up complaining that we were taking up 3 spots. Be glad it’s only 3.
