Well said, Mouth.
My respect to truckers.
99% arexcellent drivers. The best and most skilled.
I could never do it.
If I want a good sleep, just put me behind a wheel!
I don't see how they can do it.
Plus put up withose of us who pull in front of big rigs.
I purposely clear out of the way in front of big rigs so that I do not slow them down. I don'turn right on red in front of any rigs causing them to slow.
Likewise, I do not change lanes into the empty lane at a red signal and cause a rig planning to stop in that space to stop sooner. Nor do I block his continuing in that vacant lane should the signal turn green before he gets to it.
I don't mind tailgating in my own vehicle to ride in their vacuums.
If anything happens, it's MY fault.
But I should be able to slow much faster than they can if they suddenly slow or stop.
I know I shouldn't do this, buthe quiet and better gas mileage is tempting.
