Meanwhile, who the h*ll do truck drivers think they are to dictate traffic flow to everyone else? They are not LEOs, they don't make the rules. If I were LEO I'd ticket every one of them for not staying in their lane! Same is true in a RB if the driver INTENTIONALLY tries to control everybody else. I've been driving for 45 years , I don't need my Mommy on the road. End of rant.

I for one not going to argue with 18 wheelie, I stay clear of them. You never know what's going to pop (fall) out the sides, or when tire may come bouncing off the spare rack, or blowout with huge chunks of rubber flying towards you.If they want lane or both lanes I don't get ****ed just get out of the road.

I use to live up north, I was especially concerned when I seen car or truck pass with huge chunk of ice or snow build up on the roofs which could come flying off any minute. End od rant.
