2 nights ago I was driving heading home on I-84 east. Just so happened they were resurfacing, so I was in the far right lane, with a dump truck in front of me. Next thing I know this guy in a yellow suit is moving the cones and what seemed to me to be redirecting traffic in the left lane. So I was like ok, I'll just follow him. next thing I know Im in a long line of dump trucks with several 4-wheelers behind me!!
So this guy now is waving for me to get out, and what do I do but I stall the truck!!So I proceeded to do this a second time also because I guess I forgot my range selector was still in the high setting. Duh!! Well I finally got it going and got out of there. My co-driver was laughing his butt off!!
I'm such a newb................LOL!!
Yup, Im a rookie!! ( :

You know...they put those signs up for a reason... "Do NOT follow construction vehicles!"
Of course, I find it hilarious as hell that you took a few 4 wheelers with you
-
The thing is there was no sign, just the guy moving the cones and what I perceived him to be waving all traffic in. The only sign I saw before that was one saying keep to right. Oh well, just being a rookie I guess.

-
Its ok, I'm just thankful the CB was off...............LOL!!
