Learn To Drive....

Ok, here it is, 2009 and so many people don't know how to drive...at least that's what we encounter on a daily basis all across the country!

Do you know: (and feel free to pass this info on)

1- it is ILLEGAL to pass a truck on the right?
2- if you cant see a truckers mirrors he CANNOT see you?!
3- do not pull onto an expressway/highway with cell phone to your ear and not look!
4- it is ILLEGAL to cut off (pull in front of) a truck driver
5- you can usually do TEN miles over the speed limit, before getting a ticket!
6- you are NOT the only one on the road
7- we ALL have a place to go and by speeding up over everyone, you arrive at the stop light/sign two seconds before everyone else, meanwhile, risking EVERYONEs life for that two seconds?!
8- you cannot pull up on the right of a truck at corners, they make WIDE turns and when you pull up on the right, YOU GET CRUSHED as well as the truck and it would be YOUR fault (on the police report)
9- trucks cannot make u-turns, fast turns, quick stops, etc like a car...they technically need 5 -7 car lengths between you and them to stop..did you know that?

Hence, car drivers really need to re-read their state laws, use more common sense knowledge, be patient, be considerate, be HUMAN, because guess what? That truck driver is human too, and more then likely, has a family, just like YOU to look out for..

You would not believe the stupidity most drivers make out on the road....who are the usual culprits? No offense to anyone, just a wake up call...
1-moms/dads WITH kids in the vehicle
2-Middle Easterners
3-young men

Read a page I created years ago when Honey Bear started out as a car hauler:
The Real Life A Truck Driver Leads it's only 50 % completed, but well worth the read. I've posted a couple letters from others who appreciated what I've written -- I hope you do too!

If you fall into these three, or know someone that does...please, pass this info on to them..

I know I, personally, would greatly appreciate this :-)

Thanks!
