A truck driver told me that years ago and I think they seem to appreciate it. I usually get a flash in return after they move.heresolonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00461382067580153600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8781672.post-89775637694359872692011-09-02T19:56:10.340-05:002011-09-02T19:56:10.340-05:00Another fine tip to help gain the trust and respec...Another fine tip to help gain the trust and respect of that driver coming at you - when you're on a side road trying to get out on to a busy two lane road, when you see a truck coming at speed and matching the velocity of the rest of the traffic, well, go ahead and pull out in front of it. Since it's a magnitude of weight heavier than your car, it really can violate physics and shut down quicker, plus it's an optical illusion that it's moving so fast. Having the truck wail to a near halt to avoid hitting you as you pull out is all for show. They also won't mind if you go down the road and hang a left, shutting them down again while you wait for traffic to clear so you can actually make that turn. They won't mind, because you were only using the road for a short time. They particularly don't mind if there is no traffic at all behind them, because if you had waited until they had gone by, they wouldn't have had the opportunity to show just how cooperative professional drivers really are.Jeffrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06873138122305060834noreply@blogger.com
