Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

My philosophy is…
Make it work,and don’t kill anyone!

 

My company adjusted our collision radar to not make a sound beyond a 1.5 second following distance. 3 seconds was not practical in the real world and the company acknowledged that and made adjustments.

The cruise follows at 3 seconds but you can override it with the pedal to the 1.5 second mark without being audibly chastised. That prevents cars and trucks from cutting you off last minute to hit their exit. Most just fall in behind you and brake check someone else.

 

@supersnackbar is right about the freightliners. At fcc ours beep at the 2.4 sec, beep at 2 secs also. But the worst part is when your backing out of it to give back the room someone took from you, it beeps again at those intervals (Crete may be different) as the vehicle in front “crosses” back through them. It’s like, “thanks for the reminder!”

Saw a Crete driver today on 71 in OH riding not even a car length off the back of a tanker with class 6 placards. Effing moron.

 

I had a Hunt Transportation flatbed tried to pass me on I 49 S. Of Harrisonville, Missouri in the snow and a snowplow was scraping the left lane. I was in the right hand lane and he tried to pass me and zigzag back over between myself and the snow plow… He had to slam the brakes on I did call in on him even though he’s from the same corporate umbrella companies… Do something stupid where I could be negatively affected I will report the driver

 

I didn’t get his truck number as I passed him.

 

But did you slow down when you realized he/she was going to do something stupid?
