    Agreed. The highway from Fort. St. John to Alaska is appalling. Single lane essentially the entire way.

    Seen one idiot in an RV suddenly hit the brakes coming down Red Pass and stopped to make a left turn into Reargaurd Falls. I believe left turns there are prohibited. The loaded super b behind them smoked the brakes and just about ditched it trying not to cream the idiot. They love standing in the middle of the highway to take pictures of Mount Robson too, then look at you like you're the a-hole for driving on the road.

    No common sense either. They'll slow down and move over to let you pass on blind corners or uphill.

    Yup, and since they do it, I assume they also tell "honey":

    "Watch, when I flash the lights at trucker, he'll thank me by flashing his trailer lights at me."

    I always oblige them. lol

    It’s the Grey Hair migration.

    Never drove anything bigger than a mid sized SUV. Then BAM at 65 let’s buy a 30,000lbs vehicle and travel the country.

    I love seeing the ones with handicap plates. It lets me know to stay the **** away.

    Tourists in general. I was coming back from Fort Liard with loaded B-Trains and came around a turn coming down a hill and there was a girl on an adventure bike with her husband on his stopped in the middle of the road taking pictures of some mountain goaty type sheep thing. If there was an oncoming car I would have rolled right over them. I laid on the horn and they were appalled that I scared the animals away.

    That’s a good excuse to park close and crank up the idle. Or worse yet, fire up the Carrier APU.
