    Letting someone pass you could get someone killed? Might kill a child 5 miles down the road? That's rediculous. Why worry about things you can'take control? I would have let out of it so they can get down the road. Do it all the time. I'm that guy that won't work with you to block cars when traffic is going down to one lane. It really causes more trouble and helps nothing. I'm not out here to get my hood torn off blocking lanes and nanny other vehicles. I relax and leave enough space to creep and if someone wants in they're welcome to it. There's no way as a truck driver you are not aware of what's happening in the lane beside you unless you aren't checking your mirrors. Nobody ever wants to cut anyone slack. In a hurry and on a schedule to get somewhere 3 seconds sooner and look what happens.

    That Camaro was in a big hurry no doubt about that.Had I been the pick up ahead of him I would have sped up and got in front of the trk to let the Camaro pass.

    It was the Camaro driver's mother's fault.

    If she hadn't have got drunk that night a few decades ago he wouldn't have been born.

    But it is partially his Dad's fault to. He could have backed off the smooth talking at the bar and gone off to rub one out

    I think it was the truck drivers fault. He should have been able to look into his crystal ball and realize that if he had left his last stop ten minutes earlier or later he would have never been there when all hell broke loose. :)

    I always say that stupid people as suppose to die BEFORE they breed, it protects the herd. But because of seatbelt laws, bicycle helmets, the banning of lead based paint, and Dr Spock, we went from the village idiot to the idiot village in 30 years.
