      we honestly hate when car drivers get stuck behind us. If there is enough room on the shoulder, I try to flash my lights and move over a little so the car driver behind me can go around me safely. Unfortunately, a lot of these state highways don't have enough shoulder for us to do that though.

    My guess is they were flashing their lights for the cow outside the fence. Or they were flashing their lights because the school bus might have been stopped picking up kids with red lights flashing around the turn.
    Nicely done, great driving.
    Dave, stay safe

    The flashing was probably for the cow,. Here in Colordo, we also flash for wildlife on the road.

    Wytheville.....withville pronounced. Hiawasee pronounced hiwasee. You're in my back yard! Very sharp curves, be very careful cause we don't put curve signs up, you either slow down and safely go around the curve or you go other the cliff. Pick your poison lol. This was cool watching you drive this road we drive on. Safe travels friend!

    Love your videos Dave! Always amazes me the difference between our roads and trucks in Europe/UK vs USA. I deliver to a lot of farms and small industrial areas which are only the width of the truck itself in the UK! These roads seem like the dream to us, but I can imagine it is quite the challenge with 53' trailers plus the real estate pulling it! Safe drives Dave!

    I'm a retired Australian semi trailer driver, we have a lot of road's that have extremely tight corners but one road comes to mind, there is a road on the south coast of NSW , the corners are that so tight that when you are going around them your trailer wheel's (48ft trailer ) are actually going backwards, you could virtually reach out the window and touch your trailer, and this particular road had over a dozen of these extremely tight hairpin turns, you would have to get on the UHF to let other truck's know you were heading down or up and they would have to stop at the bottom or top as they would have to wait until you got down, it was a place that you never come across another truck coming the other way, shit, it was bad enough for cars , it was a road called Macquarie pass. It definitely seperated the good and bad driver's. Great video mate, greetings from Australia.
