I agree with you on common courtesy. I also try to pull over to let another driver merge onto the hwy. I pull a 5th wheel all over this great country of ours, and see most other people that are also polite drivers. We all need to try to be more polite as there are more and more people on the road. I have been blocked by cars and trucks, because they think I'll be slow pulling the 5RV, but more often than not , I've had people slow and let me in. Maybe I'm a glass half full kind of person, but I think most truck drivers, and most car drivers try to be patient with all the other people on the road. I went to Mass. this summer and that nearly made me change my opinion of people, man there is a lot of traffic up there.
I later found out that driving up there is a game, they keep score. It seems as if you get somany points for each person you can pass in the" emergency passing lane". If you can get a 20 foot long car into a 8 foot gap between to 2 other cars you get extra points. I aslo found that you don't really need to leave space between cars on the road, cause you can score extra for seeing how quickly you can change lane in front of the guy you just passed. The bonus points comes when a 3 lane gomes back to 2 lanes, the last person to get back in scores big.
Farmerboybill, please don't think I was arguing with you, I have seen the same thing happen to us all and if can quickly get our blood boiling, but the best thing we can do is try to be on our best behavior all the time, maybe others will see us anddo the same, Later Nat
