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.

Nothing but trucks should be on the road except 7-8 AM and 5-6 PM. What are you doing out on the road in the daytime? when you’re supposed to be at the office or in class and what are you doing out after 6 PM when you’re supposed to be studying, at least the stock market or the racing forms, but hopefully something that will actually build braincells.

Good point. There’s nothing quite like trying to pass a BST (Big Scary Truck) who is squeezing into your lane, while another rig roars up from behind. Maybe it’s the little white pills that makes ‘em mean.

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.
