Stupid things you have seen while driving

Everyone is a azzhole.
Is that what you're trying to say, b.a?

Sums it up for the most part. But it is too widespread. There are good people...... but you never remember them. All you remember are the assholes!

And truly everyone is an a-hole to someone. You could do 1000 good deeds in one day and no one would remember you...... but screw up once, not pay attention and that memory is burned into everyones mind forever.

Then we discuss it on here, lol.

That's why they put those rumble strips down all the four lane highways.
Helps you keep it on the road.lol

I disagree..... To a certain extent. Take a look on facebook at a paeg called superstar drivers of the oilfield...... It's about 90% heavy trucks to 10% of passenger car traffic. It's humorous but it's not.

If you are a trucker you will probably defend them...... I have the license, had plenty of frustration while driving myself which is being countered now by both heavy truck and passenger car traffic alike.

I do agree however that if people maybe had an inkling of what acceleration and stopping distance is like for a heavy truck they may respect them a bit more. But I doubt it.....

People won't allow another car or pickup to merge either so what are the chances of finding 2 or 3 that will allow something 3 or 4 times the length to merge...... Zero.

poor example, a lot of those "superstar" pics are of oilfield driving conditions 90% of drivers on the slab will never see. including many of the class one drivers of which you speak. offroad driving is nothing like highway driving, and if you can't cut the mustard you don't last long in the bush.

Was bragging to a total stranger about your good fortune REALLY worth NEVER getting another rolling mouth-hug EVER again? Silly. Silly. Silly. ;p

Show offs... Pfffft!!!

Yeah those gravel roads in the "bush" are so tough to navigate. You have to remember I actually navigate a lot of them too..... kinda have too. Some are pretty extreme but a good chunk of the photos in that album are either on a highway, or a run of the mill gravel road. So yes if it's some side road out north east of Fort Nelson where a truck slid off that is not what I am talking about.........

If you do it and are good at, then what I say doesn't apply. However if you fall into the other side of the equation.. well you can figure that out.

I've seen them, though there are a few different ones out there. Superstars of the oilpatch don't see a single bone dry gravel road in this version. I like the trimac truck with the front end ripped off. he rear ended another truck and was getting towed, the frame had broken in the accident and finished itself off during the tow.

Give this one a look.

I agree there are lots of wintertime and mud photos..... But there are tons of highway and summertime gravel too.

And some of them are just plain hilarious. Some aren't fair either.... Like the one from back in 09 that happened out along my highway quarter. Some loser committed suicide by ramming his car into a tanker truck. I feel for that truck driver, and luckily he made away with some bruises and cracked ribs.

lots of those pics have nothing to do with the oil patch. a shitty patch driver is better than most slab drivers any day of the week.

Yup keeping it on the down low is critical to repeat performances lol
Sometimes requires rapid braking or acceleration so the people in the taller vehicle don't have time to see.lol

And when did we start the differentiation of truckers in this thread? I must have missed that part, lol.

Every industry has it's boat load of winners. And the way the oil patch is crying for manpower and hires any Tom Dick or Harry, I wouldn't say they are any better.

But when they dump a vac truck into the ditch on its side against a high pressure Nova gas line on a piperack beside a steam and emulsion line they probably are going to be looking for a new job...... Or maybe not. No one can seemingly fire anyone anymore, regardless of how useless they are.

Was driving back thru bc last week and saw a mini van loaded with 6 or 7 little black kids all jumping around in the back playing with no seatbelts and the parents didn't even care

see it almost every day in castledowns with a certain ethnic group, they hardly ever buckle thier kid's in and generally speaking they are TERRIBLE drivers to boot

the difference is that it's way easier to get a job driving highway than it is to get one in the patch. if you don't think there is a difference then there is no convincing you otherwise.

Just because it is more difficult to initially get the job it again doesn't make you any smarter, better or more skilled. Just means you had a friend, or family reference to get you in....... No you won't convince me of anything because your fellow drivers prove you wrong everyday.
