For instance on US 301on MDs eastern shore an EXplorer was pulling a
set of "doubles" the Explorer towing travel trailer towing a boat (is that
even legal?) He started across the nb lanes then saw 2 18s sb so he stopped in the crossover with the boat still in the nb granny lane. I stood on the brakes & hit the horn, I got his attention so he pulled up enough to get the boat in the hammer lane, there were no vehicles in the hammer lane. The 2 sb 18s hit their horns also. I hope he learned a lesson, probably notLast edited: Jul 22, 2019

Willing to bet the following items will come up in the ensuing investigation:
1. Driving record has numerous infections/ violations of all types.
2. Works for a company with a similar bad record.
The authorities know exactly who these people and companies are. Just like the scandal in Massachusetts where the 26 year old killed 7 motorcyclists. Head of DMV forced to resign, over 1200 drivers have had their license revoked in the last month, and counting.stillwurkin, Bud A., mjd4277 and 3 others Thank this. -
