    A line painted on a road (usually bright white) that marks the edge of the legally drivable portion.

    It's the solid white line to the right. Next time you drive in really dense fog, you'll get why they named it that and how important those lines really are.

    You need to drive for someone else and get a dash cam.

    Do what you need to do to get through the construction zone safely. It will take time to find your "legs" and get a feel for how the truck reacts. Don't worry about going slow, if that's what you need to do right now then do it. The people passing you that can't keep it in their lane are people that are driving faster than they know how to. don't do it, it's like playing the lottery. The odds are in favor of the house, You will get it down, don't rush it.
