coalman, I totally agree when you say there are idiots driving cars. I see that all the time. People don't know the basics of driving. Some drivers never heard of a turn signal. Some ride their brakes constantly down a hill, guess they never heard of coasting or putting the car in a lower gear. I guess what we're saying is that's it's so frustrating driving on the interstates with only 2 lanes, bad drivers and lots of trucks, it gets very draining at times.

Well I used to drive a truck for many years and I can tell you I hate getting stuck behind just as much as the next guy. You have to deal with it though, everything you purchase at one point in time was on a truck. That's besides the fact that trucks provide an enormous amount of capital though registration and other taxes to pay for the roads. The registration for a typical small single axle dump truck runs about $500.

After reading how much trucks help society, I'm starting to feel guilty about all the times I flipped the bird to truck drivers for clogging up the fast lane.

Ahhh, the joys of the interstate system.
Ughh, this annoys me to NO END. Being from Northern, Jersey, I consider myself a bit of an aggressive driver , and nothing is more annoying than someone cruising in the fast lane if they're not passing. When I moved here I was amazed at seeing trucks cruising along in the left lane! I thought no trucks were even allowed in that lane!
