Road Rage

Seen some this morning. On the old road between Appy and Norton.
As usual coal truck drivers were dominating the road. The one leading the pack i was in. Well he would speed up and slow down.
Then when he got to where he was turning off. On his way to make the turn, he let another truck out of the area he was heading into. Problem was the guy behind him didn't have time to adjust. He didn't see the truck coming out. He almost ran right into the back of the coal truck, the guy who was pulling around the circle was just laughing.
Evidently didn't know the guy in the car seen him. So the guy stops at the first gas station in Norton and turned both into the state police.
He was telling the person he was talking to on the phone, his first response was to stop and take a ball bat to the arrogant fool driving the first truck. And that the second driver proceeded into traffic not having the right of way.
He was one po'ed dude.

They do that to me all the time. Im not bad for road rage but whenever I drive that road I get po'ed..

I try to be tolerate of it. But the man had a valid point. I mean there was no need. The truck in front of us had a clear view to turn, and slowed to let i guess his buddy out, but at the same time he was turning.
Had there been an accident, well like the guy told the person on the phone. He would of been blamed, because it would of been him hitting a truck in the rear. His words vs theirs.
Like i said when i drive it i try to tolerate it. But sooner or later, i can see someone saying something or it getting out of hand, the truckers have basically taken the road over and don't seem to care about the other traffic. Almost like being a strip mining road.

I avoid that road. The truckers have taken it over and they have no respect for anybody else.

Its all fun and games until someone loses an eye! [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

From Pine Branch to the Prep plants they haul to this bunch think they own the roads, the cbs give the ability to talk back and forth and 4 wheelers are just a bother for most. Some never break a rule, but if you look at the bridge at the intersection they talking about, the trucks are so overloaded everyday , the bridge is breaking.
