    Looking for a scale ticket while driving, admits speeding himself wait it's only 3 mph but wants to be right and way over dramatic bout the whole situation.

    The sign says 55 not 58. What part of that did Scottie not understand. Are you suppose to be concerned with a scale ticket while driving?


    It's no longer funny when his faults are called out. Other than pot calling the kettle black neither driver done a thing really. My point is don't kick a man doing 15 over if your doing 3 over don't preach he wasn't paying attention when you yourself are on film not paying 100 percent attention. Where your eyes are don't mount to a hill a beans your mind was on a #### scale ticket you coulda found after the fact if you needed it

    Full disclosure, my tires are worn down so 58 is actually 55 on the GPS.

    Nice try Queenie but 1:09 of the video shows the posted speed limit as 65mph. Your slow, distracted driving is likely why a whole bunch of traffic is passing you on the left.

    If you are familiar with Olathe KS, as soon as you get on that onramp you see that weigh station sign. Takes a bit to get up to speed. I don't remember the mile marker but it is the same exit that TransAm and Freightliner are at and the 7-11 has a CAT scale.

    ^ I used to work for TransAm.

    Yes, it is fine and reasonable if you just got on the Interstate and are building speed (as you talk to the cam and look for your scale ticket).

    It is also fine and reasonable for traffic who share the roadway with you to use other lanes to safely pass while you are not yet up to highway speed.
