{"replyTo":"","text":"People need to stop flashing their headlight at night! If they forget, then they need to stop flashing altogether. It’s not necessary anyway and keeps drivers from doing a proper lane change. Regardless of if someone flashes you or not, always follow proper procedures for making a lane change. Lane change accidents are in the top 5 most common accidents.\n\nYeah, drivers don’t care much for one another, but many will hold the door for you if you’re right behind them. Back in 2013 when I started trucking, people didn’t use to do this, but apparently now it’s common. Maybe because before people thought it was “gay” to do that. People may have gotten over that.\n\nIf it’s a woman, then you just let her in first, while for a man you just hold the door while you go in first, at least that’s how I understand it. Hahaha.\n\nMaybe you’re comparing trucking now versus 30 years ago. I’ve only been trucking since 2013, so I cannot relate. Trucking have been aggressive on the road since I started.

1242884 发表于 2021-05-16 05:29:57 i leave my high beams on, you're clear whenever to change in front of me. But if you leave 5 inches, im changing lanes, speeding past you, and doing the same thing to you, and then when you try and pass I'm speeding to match.

","text":"You’re not supposed to have your high beams on at all times, especially on an interstate highway. It’s so annoying. I understand you don’t know those particular roads well enough, but turn them off whenever someone passes you or until they’re far enough from you.\n\nTurning on your high beams are more for driving on two-lane roads where the roads aren’t as straight, wide, or well built like the interstate highway. Then there’s a larger presence of wildlife. There having your high beams (momentarily) can be useful. ","replyToPid":425860}

","text":"Love it! This is a great example of how a system can break down and the very basics of humanity can wither. just why is it there's such a discussion about turning lights on and off. Everyone marches to their own drum  so if you want turn em, or don't. All if us are different in our own ways so we should be parking in the back row and enjoying ourselves, lol.","replyToPid":425978}

","text":"You blind other drivers, moving in both directions. High beams in my mirrors are as much a hazard as in front of me. Flashing high beams on a passing truck says, DON'T DO IT!  Head lights to running lights to headlights has been the industry standard.","replyToPid":425860}
