    Saw a Marten get tangled up with merging cars the other day. Other than that eveything I have seen lately is O/O or ragged out Freightliners in guardrails or their tires buried in the mud from swerving.

    How many of the drivers of those ragged Freightliners speak English? We got a bunch of those ragged Freightliners where I'm at always driving 45 in a 70 driving me nuts, I try yelling at them over the CB but I don't know enough Spanish to communicate with them. I also see them turned over in ditches a lot. Obviously not a speed issue. In fact just last week my truck got hit while parked in a large open area by a raggedy old Freightliner. Of course the Mexican driver didn't have a driver's license.

    Yes sir, but 17 over in in a 45 has nothing to do with the old AZ law of reasonable and proper on the open road. Of course, this is based on an experienced driver using his experience. Good road, open traffic thin or well spread, rig itself in good shape, tires all good. I have passed an AZ HP running 70 on a nice piece of road with no reaction. All goes back to judgement, and I will agree that GOOD judgement is sadly lacking in todays travels. Your experiences must have varied.

    We all shall see lots of trucks tangled up with merging cars when the only option to merge is one speed 17-25 mph below the flow of traffic. . Lol!
