I was a trucker for 31 years.
I go by the 10% law.
10% of any group are a@@s, regardless if they are trucker or RV'ers, doctors or whatever.
90% go about their business in a quiet, calm deliberate way, and no one notices. But the 10% get all the attention. EVERYONE has seen someone doing something stupid or dangerous at one time or another. Learn from it, don't join the 10%
Highways are more crowded than ever and will only be getting worse.
As far as the state patrol not caring. They are all dealing with budget ,and personnel cuts so there might not be a patrolman within 25 to 50 miles, or more, of you at any time. The 10% rule applies to them also.
I can see where a thread like this sounds like folks are lumping all the jerks together but I totally agree with you on the 10% thing and that the vast majority of truckers are good folks.
