Turn Signals and Broken Left Arm

Twice today on I 10 in Florida a big truck on the sitting on the shoulder just pulls out into the right lane from a dead stop. The first one near Crestview near mm 60 almost caused a real bad wreck.

 

It is nothing new, it had to be around 71 when a big truck pulled out in front of my uncle and he didn't survive the crash. I do not remember the exact year, but he was driving a 68 or 9 gmc astro at the time.

 

I'm seeing it more and more out here. Truck drivers not using turn signals to change lanes and not using them to make right or left turns. I'm putting a video compilation together soon showcasing all the 'pro' drivers I caught not using their turn signal indicators.

 

How can I expect people to know traffic laws, speed limits, not to drink an drive, etc....when they can't even use the #### stick attached to the steering wheel? I mean, yeesh, it's not like I'm asking these people to build me a big mac that looks like the actual picture, or to do open heart surgery, or change out a transmission, or play go fish. I'm just asking you to use the freaking stick that makes the little arrow flash on your dashboard.



Sirscrapntruckalot - Stupid people...are stupid. Shocking I know.

 

Well look at it this way, they are doing away with manual transmissions to automatics because so many new drivers can’t figure them out. So does it makes sense to go to automatic turn signals next?

 

I thought me and you made a verbal agreement on the CB to keep that between me and you?

 

When you make idiot proof trucks you get
Finished that anyway you’d like to

 

Certain areas in Ontario and bc you wait till you see the gap and signal as you move over.. if you signal too soon the 4 wheelers floor it and close the gap you needed

 

Yep depends where I am anymore and what's in the mirror .
Do a proper lane change with a full signal and the 4 wheeler stands on it along with mr. Hold it on the floor big Rigger ...usually a
Texan
Californian
Northern Illinoian
Anybody from the southeast .
And of course most anyone driving a fancy large car .
Members of that group can't be bothered with properly signaling a lane change cause they are better than thou and so dam cool .
Therefore once I identify these jerks I dont bother giving them the lights or bumping the cruise down a couple notches....sometimes I play with them and nail the gas for a mile or so just to humiliate them by being smoked by a cascadia.
Ya can almost smell the frustration lol.
But usually I get back in the right lane and slow down to 62 .

 

Also come to a complete stop at the stop signs. When light turns yellow slow down and prepare to stop.
Traffic in the rotary (there not round abouts) has the right of way.
Maintain two trucks lengths from the vechile in front of you.
Stop at the stop sign not the cross walk.
Myofb you ride your horse and I will ride mine.
