<<< What I love is the two big-rigs side by side doing a slow-race up a hill. Gawd I hate truck drivers. They self-righteously reserve the “right” to go 20 MPH or 100 MPH at their leisure. They’re happy to screw up everybody’s commute instead of staying in the right lane and losing 4 MPH up a hill. They preach about not passing on the right but they’ll do it all day long.>>>
You have it all wrong sir. Obviously you’ve never driven anything larger than a car. The reason that truck drivers do this is because of momentum. These guys have what, 16 gears on their trucks and they’d lose so much time and use more gas by not doing what they do. Having driven larger vehicles, I can appreciate the way they drive, out of necessity. Don’t class all 18 wheel drivers as bad.
