Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / April 2008Turning truck driver stops SUV
I saw another truck driver do something that may have been MFFY or maybe it was a dislike of SUV drivers. This tractor-trailer driver was in the centre lane and passing an SUV. Unexpectedly, the driver suddenly wanted to turn right. He slowed down and turned abruptly across the right lane, driving his trailer across the front of an SUV. The SUV driver ended up going onto the shoulder and was held up for about 20 seconds while the truck driver finished turning the corner. > I saw another truck driver do something that may have been MFFY or maybe > it was a dislike of SUV drivers.

Sounds like today's candidate for the GPSTroll Award. >> I saw another truck driver do something that may have been MFFY or maybe >> it was a dislike of SUV drivers.

This morning a trucker pulls out into the intersection to make a left turn on a stale green when there is heavy traffic. So he's not going to be able to go until it's yellow at best... light goes from green-to-yellow-to-red and then he stalls his rig or something and is just sitting there.... now the green left arrow comes on for cross traffic (where I am obsvering this) It expires and the trucker is still blocking the entire intersection. Then the light goes green and the trucker is now moved slightly... a few seconds into the green he is only blocking half the intersection and I can at least proceed. > I saw another truck driver do something that may have been MFFY or maybe > it was a dislike of SUV drivers.

Man, sounds like that truck driver was flying!

"Flying" doesn't enter into the equation unless the result was the trucker laying his truck onto its left side. >> Man, sounds like that truck driver was flying! > > Hardly.

I assumed that meant something about using narcotics, which it seems that some drivers are doing while driving.

All truckers are like this. They figure "i'm bigger than you so get outta my way."

They figure "i'm bigger than you so get outta > my way." Never say "all". My experience is that truckers are the safest, most courteous batch of drivers out there. It's gotta be tough to dodge all those 4-wheel roller skates that routinely cut them off. I routinely measure my success on long trips by how many "thanks" flashes I get from 18-wheelers when I help them change lanes, etc. On Apr 24, 9:38 pm, websu...@cox.net wrote: > On Apr 23, 10:11 am, "Speeders & Drunk Drivers are MURDERERS" > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > I routinely measure my success on long trips by how many "thanks" > flashes I get from 18-wheelers when I help them change lanes, etc. I get that frequently as well. |
