    I wasn't "cruising" I was 'passing'.

    I was just sharing an experience of how dangerous the east coast has become. We really need a system like the old LTL carriers had were local trucks picked and then it was line hauled to it's destination to be deliver by local trucks in that area.

    We need good regulation like stop sending boxed meat across then nation. We need our local farms opened up and as close as possible (within 50 miles) to their destination. That alone would unclog our highways, making our work less stressful and more importantly less dangerous.

    This woman would probably be alive today if the attitude of 'get out my way' stopped, and the attitude of 'order and principle' came back.

    In my book a driver with a mere 20 yrs is a whipper snapper, especially when they act like you did, in Pa and on here, this thread is about a very tragic accident not about you. And by the way Pa and Ohio are not the East Coast.

    Evidently not if you could have gotten over.

    Still have not given the law forbidding trucks in that lane.

    I never said it was about me but how dangerous the roads have become. This woman who died most likely suffered greatly before her death,... because no one is adhering to the following distance rule, which, IMHO should be at least three truck lengths.

    Sorry for the cultural misunderstanding but for people living out west those states are considered the east coast since they are green.:biggrin_1square11:

    I for one did not defend the tanker, I commented on the poor behavior and postings of the O/P.

    That's what I'm wondering also.

    Dog piling YOU and not a word about the unsafe steering wheel holder.

    Not the first time I've seen that.

    I hope my wife never encounters the op here and his unsafe reckless driving.
