uncanny pass the crash site this morning wondered what had caused the destuction !!!!
Driving standards...... nowhere near what we are used to in the UK In general they cant reverse so they drive into spaces then cant get out. I've been in tight spots and you just take your time ! The steering on these trucks is slow and the wheel base is long your wagon and drag will help. The driving Standard in general is bad (trucks and cars) overtaking, keeping you distance, joining and leave the freeway are not done the same as the UK and you have to drive the way they do or you just get in the way, one of you lots of them !

Thanks for the reply to my question on your blog George.
I'm sure I'll be in for a shock as I have only been a tourist driver in the USA lol, but I did notice that a lot of car drivers don't use mirrors or check their shoulders.
Hi mick and cath is there any chance you can e-mail me the video clip of that truck crash because my instructor wants to use it while he is training drivers many thanks mike
Hi Mike,
I just linked to it on CDLofit, and I don't know the best way to rip it to my PC, but I will try to find out.
Mick.
