[QUOTE="8Ball, post: 13524, member: 431"] There is a cager syndrome called "Get in front of the BigTruck". I can be going 15mph over the limit and some moron figures because I weigh about 80,000 lbs 'he can't be going that fast'. Watch your self around tractor trailers as there may be some 4wheeler cutting me off. I won't change lanes (vehicles that have joints don't handle that well & if I hit a car while changing lanes, it's my fault) but I will slam on the brakes (if I hit him it's his fault). What you have to look out for is that car that just cut in front of me. About 1 in 3 will not stay in front of me (that truck looks real big when it's 3 feet behind you) but will now cut into your lane. This same thing happens when the car is pulling out of a parking lot, side street, etc. So be careful where you pass that truck. P.S. When your in your car, remember a trucks' headlights are not eyes. I once had a Cadillac directly infront of me & did not know it untill it pulled away. Also I've seen more stuff fly out the back of pick-up trucks that commercial rigs. Just becuse you can't see anything in the bed doesn't mean nuthing's coming out. And Hey, HEY, [B]HEY[/B]...Let's be careful out there. [/QUOTE]
