I don'...M.HANSON: I completely agree with you. I don't think many cars consider moving over because they're not taught that, and truckers often are so try to if they can, but I do think all passing vehicles need more warning. The curve certainly didn't help.<br /><br />Sometimes though, there's just not room to move over. I know I've come across that same situation - even though we can see much further ahead than cars can - that as soon as you see a disabled vehicle and intend to move over, turn signal on and everything, you often cannot find a hole big enough to slip into. And the cars, even when you hae your signal on, just do not back off to let you in.<br /><br />While Ed was up front with the repair guy, I kept thinking, "maybe we need to get out our flashing lights and put them on the back of the trailer". Thankfully, it all went pretty quickly, considering. <br /><br />Thanks for the comment!The Daily Ranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10489187226759792239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12745308.post-16300411718146939802014-03-18T22:05:47.241-03:002014-03-18T22:05:47.241-03:00Another take on the stupid traffic not moving over...Another take on the stupid traffic not moving over, if you will:<br /><br />After logging more than 1M miles, then piloting a constuction zone flagging outfit, I would venture to guess that the 50-foot warning flare/triangle spacing rule is outdated, as it would be adequate in a school crossing zone. <br /><br />By the time even the big rigs crawl up the hill and notice you without moving over, especially on a curve, they don't have time to shove over into the middle lane without risking the cars taking the outside lane to pass them. <br /><br />Not that some drivers drive with their heads perpetually, well, in their elbows, if you get my drift.<br /><br />Always enjoy your posts.<br /><br /><br /><br />M Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157510887902819347noreply@blogger.com
