Getting back on track-
In Wisconsin, once a big truck enters a roundabout they have right of way in ALL lanes. If another vehicle tries to pass in the roundabout and gets clipped, it is their fault.
Statutes That Should Be Nationwide

It seems like most of the cars there are aware of it too. I rarely have one sneak up beside me in WI.D.Tibbitt, Oxbow and gentleroger Thank this.

“Extreme Ownership.”
Accept responsibility. It allows you to make changes and improve. Without responsibility, we can just flop around like fish out of water.D.Tibbitt and RockinChair Thank this. -
Driving the speed limit does not justify camping in the left (passing) lane.
If you're camping in the left lane then anyone who wants to pass you has to do it on your blind side which is more dangerous for everybody, and passing on the right may not be legal in every jurisdiction. -

You're not a cop, therefore it is not your job to be the left lane police. And besides, the left lane needs to be kept clear for emergency traffic.Jubal Early Times Thanks this.

so it's ok for you to be camping in the left lane speeding but it's not ok for me at the speed limit?
Don't say you don't do it.
You all do it.
Trucks aren't allowed in the left 2 lanes. That ruins your emergency vehicle statement. And yet many of you use the non truck lane. Some of you even use the hov lane.
So who's in the wrong? Cop
Everything you say I can't do. You all are doing. Besides speeding. -
Dispatch should not be allowed to take money or gifts in exchange for miles or preferred routes.
Should be a Federal Crime with imprisonment up to 10 years and $50000 fine. Second conviction banned from trucking industry.
I know what your thinking, 10 years is too harsh. Well, it's a good deterrent. If your co worker in the next cubicle just got locked up for 10 years, chances are you aren't going to commit that same Federal Crime.Last edited: Feb 6, 2023
