I've only been behind the wheel of a semi for a very short time, but it doesn't take that long to see that the skills of the Americans behind the wheel have seriously diminished. It will continue to decline for years to come until some politician wants to radically change things. I don't know why most people in cars would risk their lives just to save a few seconds. I really don't know why a driver would pass another driver and move into the right hand lane just mere feet in front of the truck he just passed. I keep telling myself that bad car drivers make even worse truck drivers, and it rings true everytime that I'm on the road.
I was wondering to myself if it would do any good to write a letter to my Secretary of State about starting up an aggressive ad campaign educating drivers about the dangers of cutting off trucks, tailgaiting, and leaving very little cushion space. The more I think about it, the more it seems like a useless idea, but I've got to try.
