So you move back into the right lane where you belong and the slow back down again. This continues for 50 miles....the truck is limited at 66...maybe idk put your damn phone down and do at least 66...its not like I'm doing 80 here. Another one is the fact that ppl assume because its big that it must be slow so they pull right out in front you....its not exactly a walk in the park to get 80,000 pounds slowed down from 50 to 10 cause you don't know how to step on it. Another good one is people stopping in the ez pass express lane, specifically the toll on the turnpike right after metlife cause they screwed up. You can't stop there...its like stopping in the left lane of the highway. I can't tell you how many people almost wound up wearing my KW hood ornament because of that. Getting it stopped isn't like stopping your Honda, how about a little common sense

These are the same things that grind the gears of every truck driver I have ever met. Isn't the statistic something like 95% of truck accidents are caused by people driving cars?
Driving the PA turnpike during rush hour I routinely see people almost get themselves creamed by trucks. My favorite still being the douche nozzle in an Audi that hit the back of an 18 wheeler weaving in and out of lanes because he was in such a big hurry in a traffic jam. Although the karma of watching the idiots radiator explode was glorious I am guessing it screwed the trucker over by delaying the load.
