Sometimes not...I have, on occasion, forgotten to check the blinker after riding down a 4 lane road after a turn and noticed there was a line of cars and trucks BEHIND me. Not one DARED to pass as they thought "that great big army truck wants to change lanes and is gonna wipe me out if I try to pass". The line behind me is an indication that I might want to check the blinker. I pulled over after a jaunt one afternoon and someone I know stopped and told me that.Changing lanes / merging can be difficult as traffic does not want to be behind you. Other motorists will do ANYTHING to not get stuck behind you. The method that works best for me is actuate the turn signal " Blink, blink, go" They will get outta the way.
FYI, if your deuce catches fire next to the pump, your deuce and the pump will burn up, that's it. No ka-blooey, no Hiroshima sized fireballs, no Hollywood special effects. The fuel tanks are underground for a reason.1) before carrying people in the bed of your truck make sure they get a safety brief by you and let them now it is bouncy.
2) Always do a test drive in a safe location after conducting maintenance, I usually make my girlfriend drive separately in case I need a ride back home for fluids or tools.
3) If you are too lazy to check all tires for proper inflation at least keep others safe by checking the fronts.
4) If you ever smell anything different than normal and the only place you can stop is a gas station DO NOT PARK next to the pump, stay as far away as possible just in case of fire.
5) Make sure your extinguisher is up to date and in operational order.
6) Use your blinker but remember to start blinking early, when on the hwy I turn the blinker on and then encroach the line closest to the lane I am getting in, this warns cars that you don’t see to MOVE ride the line for at least 5-10 seconds and then proceed .
7) Keep your windows clean and all lights clean. If your tail lights have dull lenses then save up and buy new ones .
When you fill up try to do the math of how many gallons you will take making sure your gauge is correct .
9) Lock what you can when leaving your truck un attended in public areas, people don’t know you own it, matter a fact I am sure most of you have been asked why you are driving a military truck so if you’re not around people want to touch, poke, feel, glare, take pics, have a quickie in the bed in the parking lot of safeway..... lol you just never know what to expect. Be careful and observant .
10) Enjoy with safety.
