The truck thing is SO TRUE! DO NOT drive beside us! So as long as you are visible to a driver or you let him know you’re there he will give you room UNLESS you are just riding alongside not paying attention. The other thing I see is people don’t give you time to clear a car with enough distance before they have to pull out there just as you are about switch lanes. Trucks will ALWAYS run the right lane unless signs tell them otherwise or they are passing. Give them 2 seconds to get over after they pass another vehicle. The phone thing is a whole other problem. Truck drivers are prohibited from using them while the truck is moving, period. So while they are not distracted by theirs they can watch the idiots weaving back and forth with a knee on the wheel and both hands holding the phone texting away. All it takes is a bad bounce over a bump to yank the steering wheel and it could be over. At which point 3/4 of people would blame the truck driver. Most truck drivers are PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS. You don’t just show up and get a license, there’s a whole long process to it. Yes, I said most. I still see people that amaze me they were able to get a license let alone keep it.
Glad you enjoyed that one! It stood out to me, simply because I took a motorcycle class when I was younger. A small diagram on where a truck driver can and can not see you changed the way I was driving and really opens your eyes to some of the mistakes people make on the road. This may not be super detailing related, but hey you cant detail a totaled car!
