I still think the fix between the CHP and the union truck drivers went into effect the Day Davis was sworn in.

Have you seen the latest publicity stunt? I wondered why they would run it in the SacBEE with photo but this is why. The CHP just got 5 new Camaros with low-profile lights for -- pulling over truckers! These babies are capable of 160 mph!

I will be doing quite few trips on 80 and I5 to go fishing this summer and fall.

I will be very surprised if I see a truck pulled over.

Years ago when truckers got out of hand they put Mustangs on the road, all white or all black with a single red light on the spot light. They hammered the truckers who were doing 65 to 80 in 55 zones for trucks.

What is scary in your reply is the speed these Camaros are capable of doing, 160 MPH. If they are really going after trucks and 80 to 90 MPH chase car is all that is needed. Their target may be the Kamikaze motor cycle riders. Most motor cycle riders are safe and sane riders, but every trip I see at least one who has to be doing over 100 mph, by the time you see them in your rear view mirrors and realize that they are on speeding motorcycles, they are passing you and out of sight.

Let me know if you see one of these so called truck chasers actually pull over a speeding trucker.
