STD"S (Stupid Truck Drivers!)

Drivers Beware | trucks

This blog is dedicated to the many wonderful truck drivers out there! Some of these drivers are not just great guys, but they are incredible drivers as well.

Then we also have the STD's...and they are a true menace to society..One can't get a shot of Penicillin to get rid of them, no, no...one has to maneuver around them in the hopes that they are 1) Awake and 2) Sober.

The other night as I was driving home I spotted this huge 18 wheeler ahead of me and by the grace of God I am alive...he was swerving all over the place, so I did what any sane person would do, I gave him plenty of room. So what does he do??? He slows wayyyyy down (still swerving)and I couldn't really pass him, but the law requires that I go at least 35mph! So I pulled off the road completely and waited about 10 whole minutes...Lo and Behold that ten minutes probably saved my life. When I caught up with him he had smashed into a side rail and the entire back of his truck was precariously close to falling over the bridge! The police and fire trucks were passing me while I waited those ten minutes and I knew that it had to be the IDIOT truck driver...They were doing a sobriety test on the guy as I sat there waiting for the police to let me through to the other side of the road...he was obviously very, very drunk.

WHY???? I mean come on! I need all those products you guys transport...but in order for me to enjoy the fruits of your labor, I must stay alive! There should be some kind of idiot testing out there, no?

My kids rode their tricycles better then that! Sheesh!

Dang! That takes some kinda suicide jockey

to drink and drive one of those rigs. I guess, after a while, some idiot gets to feeling he can drive in his sleep so why not while he's drunk, too?

The world is full of IDIOTS!!!!!!

Glad you were smart enough to survive. The world would not be worth living in without Sassys!

These drivers that drink while driving PW

Sassys

Are beyond stupid in my mind...they are criminals! To purposely get drunk and drive an 18 wheeler is not so much a suicide attempt as much as it is a murderous one! UGH! But I keep a sharp eye out and will definitely be around long enough to bother Djbtol and co:):)

I would have called 911 to report him

the minute I even realized that he could possibly be drunk. I guess it really didn't matter though, he wrecked anyway. A friend of mine called 911 on someone one time because he was all over the road, and it turned out that he was diabetic and going into some kind of diabetic shock.
The trucks scare the crap out of me anyway on the highways, let alone to be around one that is all over the road.

I would have done just that Ammorton except that

Sassys

by the time I had gotten away from him they were well on their way...my guess is someone else saw him as well as I and called them! I have seen people that have medical issues on the road too, and at least they have a decent excuse...hell a heart attack is just that, but to go out of ones way to get drunk and then drive, deserves BIG jail time!

I totally agree Sassys

there is absolutely NO excuse for him to have been driving. It does warrant jail time, you are so right. Trucks on the road are dangerous enough, let alone to have someone drunk behind the wheel.
