Traveling north on 75 I witnessed something that I think should be illegal. The South bound lane had signs for miles of construction ahead and the left lane was closed ahead....I know because I travelled down that way about 8am this morning...anyway the construction area was one lane which is cool and the traffic was backed up was miles because of this...or so I thought.
About a mile in the backup I noticed two 18 wheelers sitting side by side and backing traffic up on both lanes for another mile. Those folks didn't know why they were crawling along so they were stuck in traffic. I cannot stand when others feel they need to regulate what others do when they have no legal right to do so. Are they allowed to block traffic like this??? Even the left shoulder was blocked because the trucker behind the first butthead pulled over to make sure nobody could get passed their blockade. Jerks!
I can promise this......I won't be cutting these drivers ANY slack anymore. I travel a lot for work (average 25k miles a year) and most of it is up and down I-75.
These truckers drive a lot more than I and I suppose they feel like they should police the roads but they are wrong. They hold up traffic going up hills because they can't or won't stay behind another trucker so we all have to go 45 mph up a hill when the speed limit is 70mph.
Just wanted to rant a little and I stand by my statement.....no more politeness from me on these guys and girls driving the big rigs. Ohhh and if you drive trucks for a living.......I don't care your guilty by association.
