Oh yes, I see cars punch it to get past a large vehicle when it puts on its bliker. They ain't gettin stuck behind that thing.
And yes, people should not just cruise along beside trucks, or preferably any car. Brian On 9/25/06, Robert & Tara Ludwick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Exactly, I would only inch to the line, but it sends a message. I thought it was pretty harsh at first when the old guys were teaching me, but after about the third time of missing a ramp due to a line of clowns not letting me over and having to go 40+ miles down the road before finding a place to turn around then come back, I learned to use the law real fast. Considering that I have well over 1.5 million accident free commercial miles ( better than a third of those done on ice and snow )and over .5 million accident free personal miles and have never put a scratch in anything by my fault, a record that very few can match ( only wreck I've ever had was on a motorcycle when some clown ran a stop sign and flattened me ), I wouldn't consider myself reckless by any stretch of the imagination. Those guys that will ditch them, that's just plain rough and uncalled for, but they are in the right legally and if the bozo's in the cars weren't driving unsafely and illegally, they wouldn't be in that position. You'd be surprised how many time when riding the line that I'd STILL have 20 or more cars illegally passing me. ----------Robert Zoltan Finks wrote: > Wow. That is harsh.
