Rubbish. Age of truck and how heavy its load is are certainly factors. An unloaded truck, is a lot more susceptible to high winds so might be driven slower in those conditions; trucks with no load with curtain- sides often have their curtains open in high winds to significantly reduce wind effects. But that's impossible if there's a partial load or nowhere safe for the driver to open (and tie back) the curtains. > The trucks all have governors. No they don't. Some do. Even so it sets a maximum speed not the actual speed. > They are also all in the right lane. By "right" do you mean "correct"? Or do you mean the slowest lane? In any case trucks are permitted to be in the next fastest lane while overtaking a slower truck. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
