OT - Picture comments.

Hi, Folks.
Just a note about a comment posted on a picture that I put on 'Stuck & Troubled' a few days ago.

The picture is of a large quarry/mine type dump truck that has run over a much smaller 4 wd vehicle. This particular comment asked, "Where do they get the morons that drive this stuff?" (The poster didn't specify which 'stuff' but from the tone my guess is he meant the dump truck driver. I could be wrong.)

Firstly, in almost ALL of the places where such large machines are used the MAIN traffic rule is that the machines have right of way at all times, with the possible exception of emergency vehicles.

Secondly, you could drive that 4 wd vehicle -- or could before it came to grief -- all around that dump truck close in to it and the only time the dump truck driver would be able to physically SEE it/you (Other than in his rear view mirrors.) would be as you drove past under his driver's side door. Given that visibility is that limited around these things, I would have thought it would be plain common sense (Which sadly seems to be getting less and less common.) to STAY OUT OF THEIR WAY.

You can see the picture in question at the link below. There are a couple of other similar photos on 'Stuck & Troubled' too.

Just my 2 cents.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
