Its almost like they are endorsing the fact that cars need to travel 90mph in the left lane, I would hate to think an 80mph large car in the left lane would slow that 90mph bmw down...shame on you truck drivers...shame, shame.

Ya, well, I've been to FLA plenty of times and the trucks are FAR worse offenders than the cars. They are effn AH'es and it's about time it was stopped. My observstion is that it's mostly east coast O/O and day cab jerks causing the problem. Most O/O's from west of the Mississippi and north of the Mason DIxon seem more tolerant of jerk SE/ coast drivers. Oh, and I learned to drive in Boston!! FLAME ON!

What is wrong with you, that made no sense what so ever to me, are you drinking already? I used to run FL. as well, ran I-4 everytime I went down there. Poor little cry baby 4-wheelers, "I can't wait my turn, I want to go, this is my road", cry me a river!!!

Who cares if you learned to drive in Boston, does that make you the best driver in the world?

Whats with the flame on crap? You got something to say SAY IT!

GT, How did you hear the crying?
I don't drink... Be it good, bad, right, wrong where you learn to drive DOES make a difference. Ever been to California or Ohio? You can't tell me there is not a difference.
You are supposed to be a PROFESSIONAL and tolerant of those who cannot drive as well as you/me/us. I've read many of your posts and believe you to be a PROFESSIONAL.

All I was trying to say is , IMHO, I think there are more UN-Professional truckers in FL and the SE than other places.

Sorry you're clueless about the flame thing...

Hub City,
I guess I mis-understood your post, my thing is we have to share the road with good and bad drivers, take the good with the bad if you will, restricting a lane is fine, reading the article, I took it like they did it because the cars were getting mad that they couldn't go 90mph.
As for the crying, I wasn't refering to you, I meant the 4 wheelers that cry a river that they have to wait their turn to pass ect., it doesn't bother me to be behind a truck.
I totally mis-read your post and after you explained what you meant I got what you were trying to say. I'm sorry.
As for the flame thing you are right I don't guess I know whats going on there.
I grew up driving in Oklahoma, I never went into shock or anything driving in a major metro, did fine just went with the flow, there are piss poor drivers everywhere, here is what I have found, driving varies from city to city, usually there are no worse drivers in Dallas say compared to Chicago, the traffic flow is just different, more or less conjestion construction, I'd say they drive faster in Chicago compared to St. Louis, I have never been to Boston, I'm sure its a fine city, I have heard its very confusing though.
