He could have gone left. I watch every load especially on private vehicles. RV's are the worst. I watched a A/C cover fly off. I switched lanes before it did. :dry:

Agree. I suspect it may have been a case of target fixation. Ed

Easy to do. I hesitated before I decided to go around the back of that Chick's car. Would have made it clean if she hadn't put it in reverse and backed into my box as I passed.

I learned about it many years ago when a huge dump truck pulled out in front of me on my BSA. I hit it dead square in the rear leaving a tire track on the truck's differential and leaving me on the street. Not cool! Ed

At least I had a choice this time. I didn't last time. Keep your eyes open guys and keep looking for that hole shot. :whistle:

Yeah I recently had a dump truck cut me off on a wide open highway. He had no reason or business going into the left lane but he did. I went left onto the shoulder. If I had gone right I'd have been a smudge on his right blinker.

I posted the vid on my KZr vid thread.

We typically avoid the highways unless we are in a hurry.
But country roads have their hazards too, these guys scare me, they can be rolling at 25 mph going the other way and loose a bail
I see it a lot :whistle:
