Re: Study: 70 Mph Safe As 65
In every state all slower traffic is to keep to the right but nobody follows it. In Illinois it is LAW you have to stay in the right line you are only allowed in the left lane to pass and have a distance restriction of a mile at most to pass. Is the law enforced? No it isn't, as I said you people have no idea what it like for us out there on the road. I've trucked in nearly forty states already, it is very difficult to drive when you have people that ride your blind spot, think its absolutely funny to speed out get infront of you and then slow down to ten below the speedlimit for no reason. I sit seven feet off the ground I can over every car. The right lanes only for trucks tend to be a joke when people know you need to be in that lane then match your speeds no matter how much you speed up or slow down so you can't get in that lane. The main problem with all of this, its called a very lousy drivers education program and the fact that nobody enforces proper traffic laws. As I said give us two lanes that is for us and US only on the interstates and there wouldn't be issues. If there can be lanes for cars ONLY then there can be lanes for trucks ONLY. Will it happen? The answer is no, why because its more fun to bust the trucker for a violation than a regular driver because we are the "Professionals" on the road other than the police and it is our duty to help maintain safe roads for everybody. Does it happen? No, why because when the "Professional" tries to do his job and the idiot doesn't want to listen or understand then his job has failed and it is his fault. Making trucks slower without doing what is necessary to help ensure a safer interstate only creates problems. Making a law and not enforcing isn't the answer it only creates the problems we have today. I'm sure CT may try to enforce such a law but its a small state so its easy to do that. When you have larger states like Montana, Illinois, and Washington its nearly impossible to enforce such a law.
