    I fall down if I'm not sure. Sometimes I creep, others I stroll. No Kids, lite traffic. it's a method. Every moment of your life is going to change. You have to adapt. I go low range if needed. I lite the Dogs sometimes. But I'm always safe/watching.

    No worries, I was wrong as well. With the amount of construction going on around here, I often find myself running the hammer lane next to construction barriers/walls... I'm not playing pickle in the middle with 8600 gallons of fuel that way!

    How many trucks and coach buses did you see in the hammer lane even though it says multiple times "No trucks in Left Lane"? I don't like to flash people but when I'm in my four wheeler I flash them idiots.

    They make trucks that are smart enough now, they should govern all trucks at 5mph over the posted speed limit and as you cross the border of each state the limiter changes to accommodate the appropriate speed. The reason I say 5 over is because most cops/highway patrol dont look at cars or trucks doing 5 over, they go after the 10+ people.
