Monte from San Antonio, Texas, responded to our query about what to call people who hold up traffic in turn lanes: steering-wheel holders. This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Steering-Wheel Holders”
We are still getting email about our conversation about what I have come to call lane squatters.
That is people that are in front of you in line at the green light left turn lane.
We’re going to be in the retirement home going through the emails and phone calls and letters from people with the new name for the person who won’t turn left when the light turns green.
Right.
And it prompted a response from a truck driver in San Antonio, Texas, named Monty D. Young.
And he said that among truckers, when you’re talking about someone who holds up traffic at lights and in general just has no common sense when it comes to driving, truckers call that a steering wheel holder.
I love that.
Yeah.
That reminds me of the office term for somebody who, the chair warmer.
Chair warmer, yeah.
Just someone who’s occupying a place but not doing the work.
Yeah, same thing.
It’s not just Monty’s term.
A lot of truckers use it, a steering wheel holder.
Steering wheel holder.
I’m afraid I might have been one of those.
