Sharing the Road

[Tim]

Believe it or not, this road is just 45 miles north of mid town Manhattan and is much longer than the video. I usually see no one, but today I got behind this guy.

Did he not pull over to let you pass?

not sure i'd want to pass him on a road like that. surprised he didn't try to force his way past the black pickup...

I would have probably pulled over on the side of the road for 1 or 2 minutes if I was behind that truck. Don't want any rocks kicking up at me. I suffered a direct hit a few weeks ago and have a crack in my windshield.

In the UK the windshield is covered by the vehicles insurance policy, albeit usually with a small excess fee to pay if it does need replacing. Is it the same in the States?

Varies by state and what insurance company and the specific coverage you have. I carry 'full glass replacement' for these kind of situations. No deductible/excess.

It's only one lane with not much room to pass and the posted speed limit is 15mph. He's rolling pretty good for a small dump truck, but the part I did not show is us going up the pass. It was rather slow and I wish I had taken the long way around that day!

Just in the short video, he drove past several good spots where he could have pulled over to let you get past
