    That's just WRONG! :biggrin_25510:

    I think we need to point out that this driver runs for Swift. In the spirit of fairness (for all the teasing we give Swift drivers here on the boards), the fact that they have a champion driver among them really pleases me. :yes2557:

    That's just flat out wrong. Obviously, the driver of the car was at fault, so he should be allowed. I don't care who you drive for, that kind of record is awesome! Reading some of the things that these trucking organization do, I'm not so sure that I want to join any of them. Maybe we should all band together and start our own that really stands for the drivers out there!
     
  8. Not to totally steer this off course, but there is another thread going now about veering off course to miss an oncoming driver in your lane. Apparently this should be added to the reasons not to do it, you will save a life, but miss out on the competition because of some bureaucratic BS.
