    Up on 55 yesterday, the NB was open. I got red-lighted on my PrePass, so I was pulling in when both a straight truck and a container went around me in the middle lane. I knew the container didn't have PP, but I suspect I know why he went around. Could have been that rag he had sticking out of his right side fuel tank in place of an actual cap....Gawd, there's a lot of junk running around up here....

    I've always been curious, what is the ticket for? I've heard it's for 'Failure to obey a traffic control device' or something along the lines of running a traffic light.

    Former coworker got nailed in Arkansas for going around with a hazmat load... $2700 and I am not sure of points. Too rich for my blood.
