If you really want to screw up getting to where you are going - get in an accident. Nice way to ruin your day.
People die because of tricks like that. And it may not be the other guy. -Dave Walton On 9/25/06, Robert & Tara Ludwick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
we used to call it the "speed up and pass" signal When driving big trucks, I follow the letter of the law, anyone whose front bumper is past my rear bumper when I hit the signal, I let them go by, anyone whose front bumper is behind my rear bumper when I hit the signal is required to let me in, so it's 500 ft down the highway with the blinker on and anyone who was behind the bumper when I hit the signal, better get out of the way, because I'm coming over. I won't ditch them, ( even though it would be legally their fault , but I know plenty of guys who will, and will sit there and laugh while the guy in the ditch is getting a ticket for failure to yield) but I'll inch over enough to where they get the message . It may sound harsh, but if you don't stick up for yourself in those things,you might as well park the thing because you'll never get where you're going. ----------Robert Zoltan Finks wrote: > You are each spot on. > > Yes, the "info. to the enemy" thing.
