... a semi truck passed us in the left lane when a tire blew on the semi truck as it was right beside us.... Another reason to stay off the interstate!!
Would that have been better if it happened on a two lane highway in the middle of Iowa?
A significant memory from childhood was riding in a car on an Iowa 2 lane highway, and the buffeting we got when an 18 wheeler passed by going the other direction. Or what of passing slow vehicles on a 2 lane highway - or being passed when you are the slow one? Is that fun or safe? Is it fun to slow down to 30 mph every 10 miles when you pass through a little town?
I like to get off on to lesser, more scenic roads. But I also like to use a good highway, or interstate, when it is safer or faster. The higher speed road might even be more relaxing - smoother, straighter, more level, more smoothly flowing traffic, etc.
