I don't think that anyone in NYC, including myself, knows that the left lane is for passing only. I cruise in left ALL the time, but ALWAYS move out the way if someone is right behind me. I also use all lanes to pass. Its normal for me to go through 2 lanes in order to pass someone. I think that as long as you use your goddamn mirrors, this shouldnt be a problem.

What a douche. What was he thinking? Brake checking a fucking tractor like that, with full cargo. Just like a mosquitoe standing still in the middle of the highway, hoping he can stop a car...Brake harder. Go faster. No shit.

I read through a driver's ed book a few months ago. It stated that when you want to pass (over dashed yellow lines) you flash your high beams a few times then signal. I know this is not the same situation, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
I have no problem with a flash of the highs. Its when people get on my ass and leave their high beams on that ticks me off. On a side note, I hate it when you pass a car who then proceeds to pass you up a minute later. Maintain speed people!Comment

Yeah, and slowing down 100,000 lbs moving at 60 km/h is achieved with primitive drum brakes that can't remove heat worth a damn. Word for the wise: if you see a truck coming up on you from the back at the bottom of a long hill with smoke billowing out of the wheels, get the fuck out the way! An alarming amount of a-z drivers on the road today can't do a downhill down-shift on the engine brake without missing the gear. This was my first incident of any kind, only have had my a-z for a year just to do last minute emergency drops like this, and god damn was I afraid, no lie. Swerving is not an option.Comment

so did you wait for the cops for a accident report, or say fuck it after you punted the dude into the weeds???????

I came to a stop to make sure the guy wasn't dead, lots of witnesses gathered, cops showed up in no time (same exit as the local cop shop), gave my statement, off I went. Leaving would have been worse as there aren't many moose bumpered trucks with green fenders around pulling a robert (bright yellow) trailer.Comment

SO to recap,
Ass hat brake checks you while driving a moose bumpered Bright green truck with a florescent yellow wagons
you punt him off the ramp and wait for the cops to show.
Give them your side of it, and you leave
No ticket
Profit
That is awesome here you would get a big nasty following to closely, driving to fast for conditions, and failure to control the vehicle tickets for that. All in all I prolly would have done the same, bet that guy will not brake check a truck againThe American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money. -Alexis de TocquevilleOriginally posted by Fusion

id say this is the majority of people from NY. most of the time, when someone is in the left lane on the GSP in NJ, its a driver with NY plates. i think the law is just different. On our roads we have "stay right, except to pass". on NY roads, it must be, stay left... as far left as you can go, and go slow!"Comment

Try driving a big ass 1 ton crew cab dually with a dark room on the back (pick up camper with no windows basically) into NYC through one of the worst rain storms I have ever driven in. And then over the G.W.B. at about 7am on a tues morn. OH NEVER EVER AGAIN will I take a job that makes me drive though or near NYC. NO NO NO NOT EVER AGAIN I will quit before I take a call out or longer term there. Oh and dont take a radio-graphic source through the Lincoln tunnel. They (the port authority) GET PISSED and wake up your boss at 1am to find out if you work for him and did not steal it and have a dirty bomb in the back of the rig that was not a good 3 days for me.
On a side note from that week, when you have to check in at the guard shack of the customers, the Guidos that are in it have no concept of geography. I give them my Montana DL, and they asked for my fucking Green card, Like Montana is in a different country or something.The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money. -Alexis de TocquevilleOriginally posted by Fusion
