why are trucks driving in the middle lane(s)?

What I hate is move over to let a few 4 wheelers merge or some big trucks and no one lets you back over. A parade behind you so you can't back out and you are hanging there with no place to go classy.

 

LOL, thought that only happened in Edmonton!

 

well lets look at it another way- our lawmakers have trucks going 55 and cars going 65 and theres another part of the problem. let me say this i have driven cars,pick up trucks, and semis and 2 yrs .ago i got a motorcycle endorsement! in other words i see things from all sides, but i must side with trucker jo. and i gave up motorcycling because of ignorant 4 wheelers!

 

THAT'S WHY I NOW SAY F'EM! I DONT MOVE OVER ANYMORE UNLESS IT IS AN UNCROWDED HI-WAY

 

Well I got a little more pedal than you! If I need it.

 

OH YEAHH EVERYBODY DOES. EVEN A MOPED LOL

 

This part of the thread is interesting. I can't tell you when a truck last moved left to allow me to merge onto the highway... and to be honest, it doesn't bother me. I figured there had to be a reason why they stay in their lane and have just always accepted it.

But then again, Pennsylvania entrance/exit ramps aren't the best... which also provides a lesson in patience. Some of the cloverleafs are so tight you can't get any speed, some of the on-ramps aren't much longer than a semi, and many (at least around here) have on-ramps that, in short distance, turn into off-ramps. And it is those combined on-/off-ramps that are my very favorites -- NOT!

 

OHHHH i HATE!!!! those ramps like that. people trying to accelerate and get on AND decellerate to get off in the SAME 100 yds!!!!!! INSANE!!!!

 

And, of course, they're always in high traffic areas with cars darting everywhere. I can't imagine trying to navigate a big truck through one of those. Hats off to you guys and gals!

 

and that's why we love ya ducky!! you are a 4-wheeler that understands!!
