Tell me how this happens (again and again) if the driver is paying attention.
They should learn to slow down, the dump trucks that frequent the Brogden area are definitely going to fast. Just slow down you will get there soon enough.
Recently I had a cement truck driving behind me on 210 going towards Four Oaks. Sun glare was bad, I was driving close to the speed limit of 55, with the cement truck not keeping a safe distance. When I put my turn signal on and made my turn he blew his horn as of if I did something wrong.
This was at my sister’s home, my brother in law helped the man get out.
