THERE IS? WHERE? I HAVE BEEN HERE 12 YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN IT.
Another note is in Georgia, if a trucker EVEN looks at the accident its his fault immediately. Trucks going slower than cars really is an issue when most of the time the driver of the car is not paying attention to what they're doing.
SO YOU WOULD RATHER HAVE 40 TONS TRAVELING AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED?
You people will not believe some of the idiots I face out there daily on the interstate that tailgate and hide where I can not see them then yak on their phone and nearly hit me.
IT IS A WORLD WIDE ISSUE EXCEPT IN EUROPE THE FINES ARE MUCH HIGHER
Maybe some of you should come out and try driving what the hell I drive and then you'll understand more. Making us a standing roadblock isn't the answer and it causes way more problems maybe if we had two lanes just for us maybe but when the interstate is only four lanes two on each side and not all truckers go the same speed you have a problem when trying to pass.
IT HAS BEEN GOING ON IN EUROPE FOR YEARS AND THEY STILL SEEM TO BE ABLE TO GET WHERE THEY NEED TO GO AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED.
Speeding up cars makes the problem more when we're restricted and drivers don't pay attention to us. We truckers are "Professional" for what we do in one reason or another, otherwise we wouldn't have been given our Commerical Licenses in the first place.
CDL'S ARE NOT "GIVEN" THEY ARE EARNED FOR LOTS OF HARD WORK AND STUDYING. YOU THINK A US CDL IS HARD TRY A GERMAN ONE AND THAT HAZMAT CERT (ADR) THAT GOES WITH IT.

Not sure where you are getting your european driving info from but you need to find another source.
