    Been seeing this more and more. Used to be something id see every month or two. Now its nearly every #### exit these yahoos will try to zip over at the absolute last second.

    It's one of the reasons i was glad to get out of the truck, see it on a daily basis anymore on the interstate, when like you said it was a once a month thing in the past.

    To be honest its why im working so hard to pay off my debt and either transition to a pilot or into being a diesel mechanic. I adore my truck and i love the concept of being a driver. But the reality is, im tired of it. I want a nice home someplace where i see my friends and family more then once or twice a year and im not staying out 8 to 12 weeks for a 1 or 2 day home time thats mostly doing errends before im gone again just to deal with people trying to kill me with stupid all day every day until someone finally hits me while sky.high drunk and doing 150 in a 25.school zone and some ####### billboard lawyer rules im at fault because i had a 1 minute violation 6 months ago.

    At this point my goal is pay off all my debt. Get myself a home and then tap out.

    Without question-JAIL! Plus:
    Charges for reckless driving (improper lane change)

    Immediate license suspension or revocation

    Heavy fines(over $2000).And since this happened in a construction zone the fines would be DOUBLE the normal amount!

    Mandatory court appearance (since this occurred in Illinois it will happen). Illinois State Police like many other states are fed up with this BS.

    Make the offender pay for ALL DAMAGES INCURRED in the accident,including their own vehicle because of their stupidity!

    Make an example out of them.

    Would placement in public stocks be going too far? :evil2:

    I don’t blame you drivers,I’ve been seeing this BS more and more,all because drivers aren’t using common sense. And for what? Because they don’t want to be stuck behind a semi just to make an exit!

    On the contrary it doesn’t go far enough!
    Take a page out of the Singapore playbook and CANE their sorry ##*** until they’re black and blue-that would solve 3/4s of the problems right there and then!:thin::MEGA1:

    I've looked at the faces of a few drivers that have passed me in such a reckless manner and they all have looks on their faces like it's completely ok to drive that way.
