The "full width" Hummer H1 is only 86.5" wide (Military version is 85"). Most Class A and many Class C motorhomes, as well as many 5'vers and TT's, are between 96" and 102" wide, as are most OTR truck/trailer combinations and OTR buses. The Hummer is also under the 10,000 lb minimum for clearance, identification, and other large vehicle lighting requirements.
Thanks, Did you know the only vehicles allowed on the freeway over 96 inches wide WITHOUT AN OVERSIZE PERMIT are RV's and Flat Bed Tow trucks? both of which are 102" wide. Not counting mirrors.

The Federal Government first enacted size regulations for CMVs with the passage of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956. This Act provided a maximum vehicle width of 96 inches (2.44 meters) on the Interstate highway system. Subsequently, the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1976 increased the allowable width for buses to 102 inches (2.6 meters). The Surface Transportation Assistance Act (STAA) of 1982 extended the same width requirement of 102 inches to commercial trucks. At the same time, the STAA expanded the highway network on which the Federal width provision applied from the Interstate to the National Network (NN) of highways. (See discussion of the NN on page 12.)

I wish that they would flash when you activate your turn signals so that folks alongside you know you want to change lanes.
I have found on occasion that activating your turn signals when someone is alongside you, waiting a few moments and then starting to move over is occasionally very effective tho.:B
I do just love those folks that are in the left lane on the freeway and see your turn signal when you need to move over and pull up even with a corner of your rig and hang there.:E
