    This race track mentality through construction zones definitely needs to be dealt with.

    In their defense (those who have wrecked in that zone) the construction zone in that area is honestly really tight. I mean two big trucks side by side you're sucking up the seat in your buttocks wondering if you're going to sideswipe each other.

    Being side by side is not good Space Management. Sometimes un avoidable but really you should drive trying to leave yourself (or another) an Out. To react to the unexpected or bad judgement moments

    Yeah, I get that. The issue is telling those who go hauling rear past you. You ever go through there on I-35 either way in Gainesville to Valley View, or Valley View to Gainesville you will see.

    Gee, it couldn't possibly be the fact that FedWrecks, a rock hauler, and a 4-wheeler were all crammed into a construction zone. :rolleyes:
