    I apologize in advance for my rant!

    Why do drivers find it necessary to drive through the truck stop parking lot at 45 mph. Especially a small lot like most pilots and loves. You drive that fast to get on the brakes to stop before pulling on road.

    Slow down before you kill someone and end up in jail.

    I blame all those autos. Guys just can't control their speeds properly.

    I've noticed that too. Many of them seem to be driving autos.

    Most autos have a manual mode that helps you control what hear youre in. I drive a '16 volvo 780 with I shift and have no problem going slow through a truck stop. Mostly has to do with ignorant steering wheel holders.

    They should stop maintaining their lot. So those potholes would slow down those steering wheel holders
