The making of a new drivers handbook.
|
The Herd Animals My grandfather's favorite saying for people who just couldn't seem to drive to save their butts was "If you can't drive it, pull it over and milk it!" That one comes out of my mouth a LOT! lol Along with a lot of other stuff I won't be putting on here. "I wonder if all of us who comment on other people's driving could pass our driving tests if we had to do it again." Hopefully I could since I have a CDL...that I got just before I turned 50! lol Of course, I'm still human and still manage to do stupid crap. Thanks to rattailgirl for the bit about semis. People don't seem to have a clue about what it takes to drive one of those things and get pissed at the drivers when it's not something they're capable of changing. They would if they could! Pagan  Hmmmm....I know I left that wand around here somewhere!

You know, I had them in the Last Minute Lane Changer, but you're right. He'd fit perfectly into the Narcissist category as well. Those guys drive me nuts. If everyone would just merge where they were, all of us would be moving faster. Instead of having to let the "most important" person in at the last possible moment.

Yeah, there are some dumbass and rude truckers as well, but most are really courteous and do a great job on the road. It's a lot different maneuvering that rig. People need to just chill.

hahaha, yeah I just can't do the speed limit. Always seems like i'm going so slow when I try.  That is definitely an addition. LOL I would bet it's horrible in Florida. " I refuse to belong to any organization that would accept me as a member" Groucho Marx

Those who slow nearly to a stop before turning the corner...on a 45 mph road... I am a much less patient driver, and have been known to "talk" to idiots. I don't think I am quite as helpful as you are, however, lol.  "Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is relax." – Mark Black

My hubby and I are team truck drivers and we both have to deal with everything you mentioned, and more, for up to 11 hours each day that we're out here! Joey is more likely to yell and get angry at the dumbasses we encounter in our travels and I am the one that is more likely to give someone the bird. lol Of all of the idiotic drivers we encounter, I hate the brake checkers the most. I don't think they realize the danger they put themselves in when they do that to a trucker. A 40 ton truck cannot stop on a dime and it will destroy everything in it's path until it does come to a stop. I have found that turning my brights on will encourage those douche canoes to get on up the road. I don't think they like having my super bright halogens in their mirrors.  I still love my job!

I'm glad I'm not the only one talking to our friends on the road. " I refuse to belong to any organization that would accept me as a member" Groucho Marx

It's another one of those things where having that little mobile computer attached to us at all times, distracts us from what we should be paying attention to. " I refuse to belong to any organization that would accept me as a member" Groucho Marx
