insure safe driving around them? I am a semi truck driver. These trucks can be dangerous if you don't know how they work. ie.. they are heavy & therefore it takes lots more time to stop a semi than a automobile. There are "blind spots". "Blind spots" are places like directly in front of us, beside us and behind us that we cannot see even with our mirrors. Other vehicles in these "blind spots" are putting themselves and others at safety risk. Semi trucks also need tons of room to make turns so we make WIDE turns and then we get some other vehicle come up beside us while making this turn and this results in an accident. Drivers of semi trucks must follow Federal Rules that the public is not made aware. The public also does not seem to see the signs on roadsides that say things like "Trucks use 2 right lanes" or in a construction area a sign says "Trucks use left lane only" or the split speed limit for trucks and cars.. ie.. speed limit 65mph trucks 55mph. That split speed causes impatience with drivers of automobiles















THE QUESTION IS HOW DO WE INFORM THE PUBLIC REGARDING THIS MATTER

What Americans don't understand is the at some time or another, everything that they buy was on a truck! We demand items, but don't like TT on the road next to us.















The main problem is that people are afraid of trucks. People don't understand the amount of training, and effort goes into driving truck.















There is only one thing that we can do, and that is to stay the course. When your around non-transportation public you have to educate them. Educate your family and friends, and ask them to pass the information along.

Good luck. American driver(in cars have the notion that they have the right away over anything else on the road. I quit driving many years ago because of "4 wheelers".
