This post is not meant to be b!itching, but educational. I drive a 40' motor coach. With my toad, I am close to 60' long. I weigh 35000 pounds. My brakes are good but I do not stop/slow down on a dime. I leave a good distance between me and the car in front of me a lot of room. Going through a city with 3-4 lanes, I stake out lane 2. It keeps me out of the exit/merging mess. In places where there are the 2 lane parkways is where the problem is. I understand that you cannot see around me. BUT, you want to get around me, then there is your exit. You then put on your brakes to make the exit. We call that swooping and squatting. Dammit, wait 10 seconds, stay behind me and make your exit. Merging on one of these, because of my length, I cannot move over and let you in. Either kick it in the ass or slow down and work your way in behind me. The other thing is you making your left turn in front of me. Yes, you cheat a little and just do it. A car can slow down and give you room. I cannot do it without slamming on my brakes. I will not swerve and risk taking out someone else. I will T-bone your ass and kill you. Thanks for your help.

First, Beak Breaker, a 9% IPA from Pelican. House rules: cocktails for 8, dinner for 4, sleeps 2. Could sleep more but I like to pad around in my skivvies first thing and until at least two cups of coffee, I am not fit for human company. Even dogs avoid me in the morning. Beavers are always welcome at my coach. Usually do Blue Ox in Albany.
