Pretty typical stuff for the muppets that roll out of California with limited English skills . . .
Unless there was a dust storm, then the above still applies, but they'll blame it on visibility.
Happens at this exact location about once a year.Marksteven and JChors Thank this. -
heres is:
BARSTOW, Calif. (KABC) --
All lanes on eastbound Interstate 40 were closed at Fort Cady Road in Newberry Springs following a multi-vehicle crash involving 10 big rigs and four sedans Saturday, San Bernardino County Fire Department officials said.

I've had one driver, whom didn't look like he spoke to much English...he merges on the interstate with no turn signals. I move over back in front of him, he passes me with his Bluetooth head set on. While passing, he starts drifting in my lane, I honk the air horn and not even a look in the mirror. Too busy talking. He straightens out, then 1/4 mile later he finally gets over after several cars pass him on the right. He gets over in to the right lane, then leaves his turn signal on for another mile. Talk about clueless...They're out there on the road with you.
Now, what gets me, your'e passing someone, and you KNOW there is someone next to you. If you're passing someone and you are that clueless, imagine if you are legally passing this guy while you are in the left lane and he drifts over or grabs something off the floor...accident waiting to happen.48Packard and blairandgretchen Thank this. -
I think I understand most of this thread, but I had to use my Dick Tracy de-coder ring.
blairandgretchen Thanks this. -
In a way, I'm sort of glad my truck is governed at 65, so the morons can wreck themselves
mnmover, Marksteven and blairandgretchen Thank this.
