Why are truckers honking

Just wait the extra 5 seconds and let the truck get over and pass him in the left lane like you are supposed to. If you are getting beeped at by a trucker who is behind you, then odds are it is because you are driving too slow and need to get over. It is much easier for a car to get over into the slower lane than it is for the trucker to move over into the passing lane.

A good rule to keep in mind is that if you are being passed by people in the right lane, you are in the wrong lane and should get over. Not only can the driver of the truck not see you, but there is a high risk that the rear corner of the car clipping the front of the truck.

When this occurs, the car usually loses control and because the rear end becomes unstable. Often, the car will turn sideways in front of the truck. Pulling beside a truck trying to make a right hand turn could result in an accident due to the driver not being able to see you in his blind spot. Not only can the driver not see you, but if the truck you are following too closely brakes suddenly it is likely that you will hit them from behind.

Depending on the speeds of the vehicles involved, it can make extracting the person from the car very difficult. Something went wrong. Please contact support fatherly. Like fatherly on Facebook.
