I've read the responses and appreciate everyones letting me vent. I admit I am a relatively green driver and, until two weeks ago, haven't run much more than 54000 lb straight trucks. The thing is, I don't know how many of you live near an urban center of close to half million, but crossing a 4 lane highway @4pm is not a fun proposition. This particular highway connects the main city to a bedroom community of 8000. If you waited courteously for the coast to be clear from both ways, you'd be there 45 minutes to 4 hours. Everyone around here knows this is a very bad intersection and should awknowledge it and be courteous to help out thier fellow human being. I've been the guy in the car at this intersection before and I've gotten over whenever I see a truck coming across. There should be some sort of requirement that, when you're getting your license for the first time, you hafta log 500 miles in the passenger seat of a truck. I don't know if this would help, but the 16 yr old would have a better chance of understanding how a truck handles.
