    I had can man do exact same thing to me in Denver the other day. He would have hit me, if I'd not stopped, and he saw me, he just didn't give a F. What is better, he got off, went down the feeder road like 3 miles, then got back on about 8 cars ahead of me.

    obviously...They don't use elementary style instruction at these schools.....If you miss your exit-Don't Panic,Drive to the next one and come back

    should he be fired for this/ I don't think at this time.....He'll end up hitting something really soon if he doesn't start using common sense....Which,I actually feel bad for him, These CDL schools MUST start teaching these drivers better- instead of hurrying them up.

    The correct procedure when you miss your exit, is to stop in the middle of traffic, backup until you have safe room, then exit as usual. ;)

    Absolutely! Someone who shows such completely poor decision making ability has no business being in the possession of a CDL. This isn't an accident, this is wilful disregard for anything remotely resembling proper behaviour, or is just plain idiocy. In any case, neither one belongs behind the wheel of a CMV.

    The second time I ever laid down a bike was something like that. Phillipino lady complete stop, wanted to back up on I-80 in the Bay area, was near Fairfield. I was on a mini causeway, not many options. Doing probably 75ish. Chopped soft tail classic.

    The good news is that she had no license, no registration, and no insurance.

    Wow. That was not a driver. That was someone driving a truck, poorly.

    See that's truck driving in a nut shell for me. Decision making, it's all about decision making.
