    Just a thought, in today's world, that 4 wheeler may not be as innocent as you think. Not neccessarily terrorism, but hi-jackings are up badly and they do use "scout cars" to pace a load they're interested in. Think about this the next time a 4 wheeler scoots up beside you and then slows down to pace your rig. They may just be checking out trailer numbers, etc off the manifest they bought from someone on the shipper's dock.

    I don't know, I live in an area where people seem to believe that turn signals are there for decorative purposes only.

    I usually leave my on until I reach my turn. So, I always tries to stay in the middle or the left. I confuse a car one time and he honk at me, and didn't like it at all. He said to me is, "turn your d**** turn signal off if you are not going to turn retard". I really wanted to run him off the road with my truck he p*** me off saying that to me. I'm nice when people respect me. When they don't it's going to get ugly.
