Road rage and poo poo is one thing but the sheer number of "small car brake-checks a truck" compilation videos is what really makes me conclude these people are just straight-up dumb as mud. e: it's like people who wait until you're physically driving over the crosswalk before they start to cross and then get mad at you for not violating the rules of physics and coming to a dead stop 5 feet before you started

The Walrus posted:Okay so hoping someone can help me with this, I was driving through Colorado on an interstate and some doofus like 5 miles ahead dumped some hay bales off of his truck and only one lane was getting through. So there were signs and poo poo saying a lane was closed ahead, but everyone IMMEDIATELY got out of the right lane and into the left lane, leaving the right late completely open and absolutely loving traffic flow. I'd never seen anything like it. Colorado has a great highway sign, in some places: "Left lane hogs cause traffic clogs." However, people are still people, and the ones who need to read that sign the most are either illiterate idiots or drunk blind people, so the signs don't seem to have their desired effect.

I think the problem is more when you have a trucking going like 60 passing a truck going 55. It chokes the whole highway for two slower vehicles. The same thing happens if two slower cars pass each other though.

I wish it was 55 v 60, if you're going 5 mph in a parking lot you're past a semi in a few seconds It's often less than 1 mph in difference The passing guy could have just slowed by a half a mile an hour and followed the other guy but can't be assed

Then some bigass truck that was oblivious to everyone's spacing decided to roar in right at the merge point blaring Rob Zombie's Dragula and traffic ground to a halt. A man I admire greatly and an example to all.

You aren't wrong but the roads are really there for the trucks, they just also let you use them.

The only people who should own trucks are those using them for commercial or professional purposes and really friendly white trash dudes with Grim Reaper window stickers.

Coming down out of the mountains of Hot Springs, AR they have highway signs that say "merging between semis has caused XX deaths this year, don't be next" and the XX is a flip sign like at baseball games. those are some god drat good highway signs

That's more for cars that sit in the left lane not passing though, my situation was literally a line of cars ten or more miles long sitting in the left lane not moving when the right lane was open right next to it.

Trucks are a required part of infrastructure, whether you like it or not. Can't have a train stop at every office and store. Dumb fucks in cars aren't needed tho, they can take a train.

I mean if we didnt loving suck rear end at infrastructure and actually had an imaginary infinite money tree it would be nice to have high speed rail hubs in each city with dedicated commercial lines so trucks would be mostly pointless interstate wide. But that will happen as soon as fuckers learn to merge properly.
