I'm not a Big-Rig driver, but I know for a fact they go through a lot more driver training than smaller vehicle drivers do. Truck drivers have a very large responsibility when out on the road with their rigs to themselves, the company they work for, and to the rest of us in cars and pick-ups.

As someone else commented, they are under enough stress already. Let's all be respectful of that and remember to "Give 'em some room".

Yes, we have just as much right to be on the road as they do, but would it hurt to give them a little extra space at intersections? Sometimes they have to pull up to the far right at an intersection to safely make a left turn. Watch for their turn signal as you begin to pull up beside them - if the left indicator is blinking, please stay back a way from the white line about a car link or so to give them the space they need to make that turn.

I'm sure they would be extremely grateful and you have just done your part to minimize a chance of an accident occurring. - Dave Burton
