[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 3955700, member: 8481"] OK. If I was in that situation, and I have been in something similar, as probably a lot of us have been, I would not think all those sirens and horns blowing were directed at me.....at first. Yes, I did hear them, but also thought I left plenty of room for traffic to pass. When it continued past several seconds, yes I would try and see what's going on. After about 4 or 5 seconds of that, I would come to the cab and look in my drivers mirror, since the passenger mirror is folded in. Can't see anything behind me, so I go to the passenger side and unfold the mirror to take a look. Yes, to do that, it takes about 10 seconds to get from the back, look out the drivers mirror, unfold the passenger mirror and process what's going on. Add that to the 4 or 5 seconds before I realize there might be an issue. So, 14 seconds is reasonable, even in that situation, even if you are a DumbTruckDriver. Now, here's where we probably agree. From this 14 second point, I think he could probably have got his package car moved a few seconds sooner, but we're only talking 4 or 5 seconds here. Bottom line, the story made it look like he refused to move his package car. [/QUOTE]
