truck runs into pickup pulling trailer

[Unicorn Jeff]

I know. I've driven a 37 foot motorhome, and I tow a 21 foot enclosed trailer on a regular basis, so I understand how a trucker feels. I'm the guy that will let them merge, even flash my lights to let them know that they're clear to merge. I have run into a few asshats though.

Oh I know. I've had some run in with some of our own idiots. Every profession has its bad apples.

After driving all over this country, battling Manhattan, LA, Chicago, and everywhere in between, there are plenty of dickheads on both sides. Truckers don't give an inch because cars don't give an inch. It's a vicious cycle.

That being said, this driver was clearly at fault. My guess would be texting while driving.

Fell asleep and went heavy on the gas, plain and simple. I wonder how the pickup truck made out. Looks like he went over doing at least 60, enough to launch him out a window...

I thought you were becoming a cop?

You mad bro? Not all of us are like that.

This is the same thing as regular drivers claiming how excellent they are and never chicken peck on a phone while behind the wheel. Should you be thanked for doing your job now?

No thanks needed, but without trucks the world wouldn't run.

I'm mad too bro. I had some asshole trucker nearly run me off the fucking highway. I was on the on ramp, the guy in front of me wouldn't go, trucker's cab as at my quarter panel, and he never hit the brakes.

You do realize it's YOUR responsibility to merge don't you?
Trying to merge with me you have three choices speed up, slow down fall in behind or run the shoulder, lol


last one who pulled that on me received three tickets a totaled car and paid 8k for a new fender and bumper.
- Section 545.061 of the Texas transportation code states that (on a roadway divided into three or more lanes providing for one-way traffic) a driver must yield to traffic on the left when entering a lane from the right. This statute applies to lane changes as well as vehicles entering the roadway.

You do realize that you're a fucking asshole right? Just because it's the law, doesn't make it right, I can easily fuck your day right up, make you miss an exit, not let you merge, etc, and be perfectly within my rights to do it. Hell, I could even left lane camp and get away with it, but I don't, because I am not an asshole.

i just got back from a 3k mile road trip on a motorcycle and can confirm this cocksuckery...

You're the one that's talking about running people off the road pal. Might want to switch careers or get on some anti depressants.
