    Good! I am tired of motorists tailing me when I am going the speed limit, then cut in front of me nearly clipping my front end or cutting off the trucks before them! When everybody is going with the flow of traffic, they still think it's okay to 20 miles faster than everyone else?

    Would be nice if I pulled into a scale house, and after a clean DOT the trooper asked if he could ride with me for the next 20-40 miles while they conduct a sting.

    And black helicopters hovering overhead!

    I'd volunteer for that. That'd be one helluva extended roadtest...

    That's awesome! Sad thing is though, from what I've seen, they don't just pull that crap with trucks. They do it to each other just as bad. I was goin east on highway 60 between mira loma and Santa Monica in LA a couple days ago and I musta seen at least fifteen cars cut me and other cars off.

    I wonder what them bears do when they see a four-wheeler come from the left side of a truck just to hang an exit ramp right at the last minute......

    IN has been doing this also for a year or so around Indianapolis and just north of Louisville in the no-fly zone. I read an article about it somewhere a few months ago but can't find it anymore.

    I noticed more states taking measures around trucks, and it's about time they do.
