Atlanta Cars verus Tractor/Trailers (moving, suburban, estate)

[Truckingdad]

Why do cars want to hang around Big Trucks and talk on your cell phone?
Do you realize this is the most stupid thing you can do. You are relying on us to watch traffic and all you have to do is watch us. Which makes it easier for you to drive, but if we have to stop quick and you don't. Your fault You people are so cheap you can't afford atleast to have a handsfree setup. Think about it you head will not move from side to side while you are talking on a cell phone. You don't realize that the car behind you or truck want you you move over so they can go by your slow moving self. Man get a life and get off the phone. Friends don't let friends Cell phone and drive cause the life you save may be your own!!!!

Yah know, I've yet to see a rig get seriously damaged from a wreck with a car. So, does it really matter (other than your lost time)? Let the idiot get run over by a rig- I know that 95% of the time it's not the truck driver's fault.
As mean as it sounds- it's the truth. If people assume that they can drive and talk on a phone at the same time, let them. It's their life (yes, I know it could be someone elses also- but the rest of that family or that driver's estate will be desimated).

So, you had a bad day?
What else is new when it comes to Atlanta traffic?

Clearly you don't know what truck drivers have to go through with DOT after an accident, let alone a fatal one. Hanging around semi's is not very smart. I usually give them a wide berth and I drive a 2500 Chevy Suburban... much more likely to survive a mishap than a Nissan Altima.

I have always quicky got around and semi's never lane-2-lane with them for obvious reasons. I drive agressive and quickly so not an issue for me.

But yeah, i see people all the time just riding right behind or generally just hanging out around trucks...those guys always scare me for obvious reasons... o-O
