[QUOTE="H D, post: 1001527, member: 68494"] Bill, no, I shouldn't have used the term truck in this particular thread. I was referring to the strict automotive laws they have in Cali and restrictions on pickup trucks and my surprise that they don't have laws that require rigs to have bumpers of big fluffy pillows made of unicorn manes. I agree with Jerry 100%. My grandfather drove for 40+ years and I learned a thing or two from him...some things my parents wouldn't approve of, some that make me a better driver, lol. His retirement was forced by an idiot that put him over the side of a bridge. Not that he couldn't have gone back to work but at 60+, he said he didn't need that **** anymore at his age. Anyway, I always give plenty of room when I'm behind trucks and it makes me mad when someone thinks that's wasted space and gets between us. I also always wait until I can see the full truck in my rearview when passing them and put on my turn signal after that point, wait a few seconds and then change lanes. Every time I've pulled a trailer and followed that rule, they always flash me to let me know it's ok to move back over in front of them. Actually took me a while to realize that's why they were flashing me. Without knowing the situation fully, I am inclined to believe this was the Corvette driver's fault as well. You can drive stupid in any vehicle but there's just something about a midlife crisis and a Corvette that seem to go together so perfectly that I have to believe this guy was feeling pretty b.a until his nose was inches away from a trailer. Maybe this is the incident that pushes him past that and he gets a Buick, starts buying gold coins from commercials and prepares for the rapture or death. [/QUOTE]
