    I just thought it humorous that they had so many posts in such a short period of time.

    Its harder to change lanes when you have one hand down your pants.

    I do too.

    "Hurry up to wait" is the governments motto, so when I'm working I spend a lot of time waiting. Nothing beats posting on TTR under Postal time. Kinda sad, but I have more free time at work than I do at home.

    I broke down up north last year, near the bottom of a hill. I put a triangle at the top of the hill letting everyone know that a vehicle was broken down. I still had a flat bed driver come down and run over some cones at the side of my trailer before going into the other lane. I had my 4 ways on, but couldn't get any cell phone service at all. Had to walk to a house down the road aways to use their landline, even though the phone tower was only a mile away. About 4 hrs later the tow truck showed up.

    Yes you are right. This was hi way 17 in Ontario, I was heading to North Bay from Montreal, some small towns on the way, lots of wide open stretches of road, there wasn't any reason the trucker couldn't get over into the other lane.
