I learned to drive in Detroit, part of our game is nobody passes us, except on the shoulder! Yup! Once my sister used the shoulder to pass a car pulling a boat on the entrance ramp merging from one expressway to another (was in the back seat of that ride and swore never to ride with her again). I live here and will admit that most drivers are nuts!

I'm contemplating a "how many slow-driving trucks that want to drive exclusively in the left lane can i flip the bird to" game. Truck traffic around here is insane for no bigger than this area is.

My favorite truck move: red light 50 feet away. Two trucks are in the right lane. Truck two decides at last minute to swing over into left lane so that truck #1 and truck #2 can then drive beside each other for the next 11 miles.

From my perspective, most of the time it's a car driver doing something stupid and not a truck driver. I can't tell you how many times I have seen cars cut off trucks or try to pull out in front of them or cause them to swerve or jam on their brakes. Last month, a Mercedes tried to pass a truck on the right as both were going through a roundabout. You should have seen that mess.

There are a lot of stupid drivers out there, i agree with that. But why the burning need for these trucks to be in the left lane at stop lights? I also nearly got side-swiped by a truck about 6 months ago as i was going by him on the left (we were the only 2 vehicles around)......he covered at least half of my lane as he weaved across.

If you are on a motorcycle and you pass said two trucks at said light, in the space between them (which is legal in a few places), the drivers of said trucks seem to grow an affinity for their horns. Yes, I know......

As much as semi-drivers are on the road.. you'd think they would be great drivers. Not so much. Same goes for bus drivers, company trucks, taxi drivers, etc. In Vegas, the only thing more dangerous than being in a taxi is being in a crosswalk when a taxi is nearby.

we play that game and "didn't make it"-which is a count of how many dead animals we see on the side of the road & what types...we are required to be the 1st to say "didn't make it". its the twisted side of our family trips...
