[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 310125, member: 484"] And if the posted speed limit is not what the truck driver is suposed to be doing, how the heck is he suposed to know?:happy-very: Actually, I understand what you were trying to say. The posted speed limit for trucks is different than the posted speed limit for cars in some areas. Ours for one. And ask any state trooper. When that happens, the accident rate increases for cars slamming into the rear of the larger trucks. Especially when it is 10 MPH or greater difference, like it is here. BTW, in our area the speed limit was reduced by a gooberment official that stated "I dont know if it will decrease the polution of the bigger trucks or not, but we need to do it anyway because it is the right thing to do." Kinda like all the global warming freaks, gotta do all this BS cause the world is getting too warm. Yeah right! But I digress. But in the area the video was taken, not so. I again state, that those that deliberatly drive 10 MPH slower than the posted speed limit for no other reason than they do, are just a big a traffic issue as those that go 10 above. You have made your vehicle an obstruction. You can try and hide behind safety if you want, but you know better than that. d [/QUOTE]
