That is the BEST answer that Ive heard...lol
I would tell all of you to mind your own bussiness and leave me the **** alone. :rofl_200:
Just kiding i always use the smith system when i drive,
actulley most drivers do cut back to the lane way to soon when passing. If you drve truck for a living you would know why this is. but that dont make it right and i never do it. I always get past any vehicle by more than enough even if they flash the lights to come over before i should in fact i dont like other drivers to even help me at all. I do just fine on my own.
Most drivers cut back to soon because if they wait to long the guy riding his *** to get out of his way will cut over and attempt to pass him right when he is safly merging over and that is why i take my time as i merg over. if i hit you when i merg back it would be your falt for staying in my blind area way to long. Other wise i would see you and let you know to pass me or back off.
People on the road today take way to much risk in fact i cant beleave we dont have way more accicedents.

As for your question Toddler I would do nothing and let karma get him/her and beleave me it would. In the old days everyone had cb's and they used them and when a driver act up we would all give hime **** about it. But now days no one uses a cb because of cell phones. Just think about that big trucks dont use cb because of cell phones To tell you the truth i stay as far away from a big truck as i can. Dander Danger Danger Trust me it would be best for you all to do the same. But its your lives so do what you want. If that ******* is doing what Todd said back the **** of and let him go. Normaly i would say if possible turn him in but 9.75 times out of ten you would waist cell minutes. even if you got info and safly pulled over and called. The truth is that the highway system couldent keep up with all the law braking nor could the courts. Other wise trust me we all would pay for our actions.
If the driver is dangerouslly driving than the best thing you can do is get the name of the company he drives for and turn him in. trust me his boss will take care of everything. when you call his boss dont go over board but make sure you sell the fact that the driver was acting in a very unsafe maner and was driving with rage. Trust me he will be told to pull over and call dipatch. This way you just put his job on the line with this company forever. And most likley he will get fired. If you cant get the name than get the tag make and color of truck and trailer and any other details to hell the police find him the more info you can get the better but dont chase after him. if i have time i turn on the porch light when im next to them and bump the horn and show them my phone and give them a look like im going through with it right now. hope this helps
What would you do Toddler.

Whatever you do, don't throw any popcorn at him! People can react violently to minor issues. Be vigilant, be alert, be safe, but don't be a victim. These days that can be a very fine line to observe, the one between observer and victim.

This reminds me of christmas eve 1994 enroute to go by my xmas gift a ruger mini 30, this ***** was cutting people off left and right behind us on a two laned highway Rt 146 near the RI/MA line.
My step-father ****, oddly enough is blind in one eye,...get it one eyed ****...was driving.
So he decides to do the same to to her when she got closer he just started drifting left and right when ever she tried to pass
this went on for about 3 of 4 miles before she out smarted him by slowing down and laying back for a while then with a full head of steam flew by us in the break down lane with one finger waving.
I'm not sure if I would have done the same thing but she deserved it.

Had to change the story because all of you guys ride in **** areas it sounds like. We don't have problems like that out here, or at least its rare. It just sounded like normal every day riding for you guys.
But anyways, the whole point is that you see something and what you do and don't do might affect others or yourself in ways you don't know till later.
1 He drives away and everyone is fine, you did nothing and nothing happens.
2 He drives away, and you call the cops, he gets busted for speeding or reckless.
3 He drives away and crashs into someone, you did nothing to stop him ( calling the cops ). You might have been able to prevent this.
4 See 3 above, but you come home to your wife crying to find out that your relative was killed today in a auto accident by a big truck.......
etc etc etc.....
So I just curious to see what others would do.

What would I do Vmax Mike...... I would shoot your tires out.....Stupid truck drivers should learn how to drive!!!!
I guess you would have a hard time explaining that one to your boss eh Mike?
Reality, I would call the cops. Get his plate and description and let them take care of it.

Having worked around LEO's long-enough to see good ones and bad ones, I think these days in urban areas you really have to be robbing a bank or beating the crap out of someone in public, or driving drunk in-front of a LEO, before they will do something about it. Unless of-course, you look like an easy target-limo-tint windows, ricer car, rolling wreckmobile, or something involving a felony that a BOLO just went-out-on.
There are priorities in law enforcement, and reacting to someone's call-in of aggressive driving isn't going to rate very high. If it's an accident, then yes, they will come-out to see the aftermath. Otherwise, about all they will do-maybe-is to inform any patrol cars in that area. They sure aren't going to pull anyone from another zone to try and find your aggressive driver.
LEO's spend a significant amount of time backing up one-another. How often have you seen just one LEO on the side of the road? Rarely around here (urban south FL). They swarm to the scene of a traffic stop or any action by a LEO just-initiated. I can understand that, it's for protection. But, they are not going to be chasing-down the driver you complained-about, unless they are either within a quarter-mile where the dispatcher gives them the position. They just aren't going to bother.

Amen to that too!
We've had a few technicians fired over that. The first call in or two is a freebie since there's no accounting for how many ******** just like to complain. But if a pattern develops it gets addressed, usually with termination.
Luckily I can still be a **** on the road and get away with it since supervisors do not have to wear any company logos, ID, phone numbers or badging on their company trucks. haha.
Hmm describe which relative !!! stepmother ***** from hell PLEASE PLEASE !!

It depends on the situation when you call. Because if they are driving really crazy most likely you aren't the only one calling. Numbers help, if ten people called they will take it more seriously.

The only way you will shot enough of my tire's out to stop me is if you put yourself at my disposal. So fire away Toddler and as your bouncing of the center wall because i just trailer whiped your *** you will be answering to the 911 call that i placed about some punk *** Toddler in a lowered hot rod truck that tried to kill me so i put him in the wall.:biglaugh:
If you want to call the cops that might work. But if you call the company and ask for safty it will work.
As for the guy with no id on his truck i do call the cops and tell them all the info i can and i would say the vehicle is all over the road and it look to me like he was drinking miller beer in a can.

Luckily for me its a white chevy Silverado with no bumper stickers or window decals either. Matches the description of about 97% of the trucks on the road in the areas I work...
Oh, and its Bud Liight! Not Miller!
: )
Rusty not only do i sit up nice and high for a great view but i also have a camera mounted on my windshield that tells all. just punch in the time and date. 911 dont care what you are drinking. All they care about is that you are drinking. unless you remove your plate or i dont get your plate you will be pulled over. And if i need to prove it well that camera will do that. Trust me its not fun having a camera knowing your every move because if im the guy that they call in on it will tell on me to. Hell at any time if dispatch wants to know where im at they just pull it up on the gps and they can see where im at and even how fast im going. Soon i will have a system that will tell on me if i am falling asleep.

Not mine, but a few local dump truck companies have "boxes". the trucks are monitered for location, speed, idleing time, hard braking, etc. I know at least one guy that lost his job because "big brother" was watching. They also give out bonuses for "good" behavior
