Turning truck driver stops SUV
Turning 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.

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.

Hardly. He's driving a truck, and he's making a sudden right turn.
"Flying" doesn't enter into the equation unless the result was the
trucker laying his truck onto its left side.

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."

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.
