Truckers Code of Ethics

I have noticed that when you are kind to a fellow trucker that has some road ethics, it is appreciated. A little like a glass of cold water to a thirsty man.

 

The plastic headlights drive me crazy. I want clarity, not foggy plastic! I keep a bottle of window cleaner handy for the small stuff.\

BTW, like the flags.

 

How about hanging up your cell phone while backing in. I saw one down the street where the backing/cell phone user had backed his trailer into a Western Star and was out of his truck looking at the damage....STILL TALKING ON THE CELL PHONE!

 

I have seriously considered installing a cell phone jammer in my truck and the only reason I came up with not to was because it would disable my aircard.

 

I believe the cell phone jammer would be for the other guys cell phone...Not his.

 

I could not have said it any better, thanks leatherneck

 

Lastly, I want to second the driver who asked others not to flash their brights. I rarely see this from truckers, it's usually four-wheelers doing it, but I'll second it anyway.

that quote was from 1nonly... I have a slight dilemma with it, though. I drive an 02 VW Golf 4-wheeler that has DRLs... I love being able to help truckers on the road and find that I can't shut my lights off to flash without ripping the e-brake, which at 65 mph, is not a good idea. Do the brights on low-sitting 4-wheelers screw you guys up nearly as much as brights from other trucks do? I kinda feel bad for trying to help suddenly...

 

Don't flash those lights to bright! I'm not blind, but you just blinded me temporarily. How am I supposed to steer with this huge blob of your afterimage??? Common sense and courtesy.
