Once I followed a big rig towing a flatbed (empty), and I was in my pickup, this was on a winding road (PSL 55) and I couldn't keep up, I was pushing 80-85 with a pegged speedo :lol:
I've spent time driving the pickup with a trailer and something heavy on it, thus going slowly, usually on routes frequented with truckers, and I can definately agree that an RD is something "fun to play with" to break up the monotony of 50-60 MPH.
I drove past a trucker once who had a radar gun inside his cab. My RD was going nuts out in the middle of nowhere and couldn't figure out what the hel was going on until I saw it inside his cab window later on down the highway.
Talk about entertainment.
Exactly, But Why Sit In the Left Lane When There'z No1 In the Right Lane 2 Pass? All the More Reason 2 Stay In the Right Lane, Unless yr Passin Some DickHead Goin 20 MPH Under the PSL...Quote:

Around here usually trucks aren't allowed in the left lane on a 3 lane motorway.
I have found the big rigs normally not getting into the 3rd lane.Quote:

And they pull out just as your getting ready to pass them.Quote:

But of course, there are always the "bad apples." For example, coming back to Orlando, I saw this USPS semi. He seemed to be late or something. Passing on a double line, when there were cars coming :shock: . Swerving within his lane. Let's just say I didn't feel safe following him :? .
