    Can someone please explain to me, why does CA have 55mph for trucks? Is there any legitimate sense to it? Or is it just California doing stupid California stuff?

    Or how about, big truck need to get over to pass (or cop on shoulder), but there's a line of 50 four wheelers bumper to bumper in left lane = safe

    yeah both scenarios suck. If it’s a cop I do a bit more convincing to the traffic in the hammer lane.

    Because it's a Communist Dictator state, hence the nickname Commiefornia.

    I actually run 63-64 most of the time, unless supertrucker blows past me at 70, then I let him sniff out the cops, and I’ll wick it up to 65.
