I think we've shown this as a case of what NOT to do when recording with a dash cam. When you have a dashcam on board you need to be driving 110% safe and observant. If something would have happened there, this tape would have put you hanging by the neck in the electric chair in front of a firing squad until dead dead dead. Personally I would be embarrassed to post that a video like that where my truck is drifting into another lane and motorcycles are obviously there as evidenced by the footage. What were you doing in the fast lane if you were not actively passing Marten? I hope you don't think it is your prerogative to cruise along in the fast lane like it is your own personal road with the spirit you will use your 'big rig' to intimidate other road users....

Richter Thanks this. -
Those bikes are a bunch of ########s and give the rest of us a bad name. I ride, I have and R1, I never F with truckers when I'm on the bike. If I can help them out I will. My bike weighs less than 400lbs and makes 178 hp. If a truck needs to get over to pass I'm going to let them. I'm far more adaptable than they are. I'm also on the highway for personal reasons (occasional buisiness trips aside), the semis are there to work. On my sailboat commercial vehicals ALWAYS have right of way.
CertifiedSweetie and willardskillard Thank this. -
That being said, my dad drives oil tankers for a living (ships) and sailboats always try and cut him off. The worst part is, the tanker is so big, it blocks their wind and they get stuck in front. Just like we sometimes need to take evasive action to avoid accidents that arn't out fault, he has to so the same with a 700 foot ship that is 2 semis wide. -
