Didn't a certain President once say "If it feels good, do it"? Well, he did what felt good, with an intern, and got his fingers smacked, and impeached.

WV i90?

I think the Trainers a little bit confused. Only one way to find the limit, push it till it rolls over. Then he’ll know for sure. Giving it a little fuel before a curve and maintaining it will help keep it right side up. Centrifugal force. Speeding through a tight curve is asking for a rollover. Slow down before a curve. Applies especially on slick roads. Good habit to practice year round. Then a little fuel into the curve if wanted. That’s the theory anyway. Just be careful. I see those Experts in the ditch all the time.

Is that the same guy who was hitting cars on i76 in Co. yesterday?
I came through a single car wreck. Then a freeway sign said wreck ahead. Another?

Okay, I'm a bit leery on this, as what mega company has trucks that do "70-85" mph? I do think the driver is driving erratically, and must be reported. Due to the fact, new trucks have so many modern features, it's very easy to forget you are operating a 40 ton vehicle, until it's too late. It's one reason I'd NEVER co-drive with ANYONE. You've got enough training, probably more than most with that schmuck, and go it alone, really, you're life, and others may depend on it.
Coffey Thanks this.
