Troopers join truckers in making roads safer Troopers join truckers in making roads safer Lawrence Journal World, KS 8/20/07 Quote: A quick way to upset Chris Jones, a jovial semitrailer driver who prides himself on his pristine driving record, is to hang out in his blind spot on the highway. If you really want to raise his blood pressure, you’ll try to pass him in the right lane after he’s moved to the left lane for a Kansas Highway Patrol trooper on the shoulder. After all, it’s the law. “I don’t want to witness a trooper getting killed because someone didn’t follow the law,” he said. “I’m doing the right thing. It’s two to three seconds of their time. To risk someone’s life, it’s not worth it.” ljworld continues

I second that. I also had the misfortune of driving around Lawrence doing local tanker work, I figured out what was wrong with Kansas, it's Kansans. They don't want to waste that little bit of energy activating their turn signals, if they do, some of them signal right before turning left. They pass on either side out of reflex, I have moved over for stopped police vehicles and been passed on the right there, too, more often than not.
