    In grade school it was called being a tattle tale.

    I'm having a hard time seeing a whole line of cars following the truck instead of going around. I'm inclined to think gpsman is onto something with post 66.

    Like they say, if you go looking for trouble you'll probably find it. Unless it's a safety issue there are more important things to do than play hall monitor.

    You made a special point to get in the hov lane just to get this flatbedder in trouble?Was he bothering you?Let the other cars worry about him,just worry about you and your suroundings.I don't make it a point to get anyone in trouble as long as they're not bothering me.Rather then focusing on trk drivers why don't you start focusing on the 4 wheelers and call them in.

    Five feet...Hope you are joking.

    If not you are doing FAR worse then "playing" with some ones job.

    You are playing with some ones life.

    Do that to me, I'll call you in AND let you know. Or put you in the ditch.

    BS!!!Gotta let them know when they're being stupid. Most of these drivers need to remove the mirrors on the truck because they don't seem to use them while driving down the road!! lol

    I believe the person who made this post just wanted to seem cool and receive props. But it backfired

    NOOOOO!!! When rolling through Phoenix, you have 4 regular lanes & 1 HOV lane. There is no reason for a big truck to be in the hammer lane. If the truck is governed, then he really shouldn't be in the hammer lane.

    Basically this. I learned a valuable lesson in I think 7th grade when I told on somebody for throwing spitballs. I was joking about the DOT cop comment but unless something really serious is going on there's no need to pick up the phone and get a driver fired, we all make mistakes.
