that's why. In most states (USA) the drivers handbook says remember driver defensively.
You have 2 be some kind of ignoramus to get in front of one of those Machines, because let me tell you they also make one hell of a lot of noise. The driver * CAN NOT HEAR YOU * nor see you if you get close 2 the Machine.

Having operated a "dozer" I can state that JimmyF is correct. If in fact it was a "bull dozer" it has blind spots if the blade is in a certain positon and one cannot see what is in front of them. It also probably had an enclosed cab and the operator would be unable to hear anyone that may have been yelling.
