You see a number of truck/car accidents and those in a car come out on the short end. Is a large truck traveling at 70mph (and more) making it unsafe for a car traveling 70mph? After traveling more than two thousand miles on Interstates recently, I’m beginning to wonder… BTW, trooper’s patrolling the Interstate highways certainly have my respect.

maybe not, but you would have loved a post from about 4 years ago. This ________(fill in the blank) posted that he always intentionally drives 30 mph in the farthest left lane of 466 in the 45 mph zone because
HE thinks that is fast enough. Think about that:
HE decided the speed limit for everyone else, despite the decision of the county legislature in conjugation with civil traffic engineers and force of law.
HE decided. Absolutely beyond arrogance and entitlement, I'm not sure there is a word for it. I hope this ______(again, fill in the blank) is still on TOTV and sees this.
