I just wish that car/motorhome drivers had to go through the same training as commercial drivers. I work driving motorhomes for a dealer and had to get my commercial license. The training would be an eyeopener for the average driver. Slam the truckers all you want but I spent 30 years as a cop and saw car drivers doing dumber stuff than the truckers. Pull my toy hauler across the country and you'll see what I mean.

In my opinion, big trucks are dangerous. I am sure that the majority of trucks are driven by well-trained professional drivers, but many are driven by "Smokey and the Bandit" yahoo wannabees. Put a yahoo and a dangerous truck together and bad things happen. All those tons running down the highway looking for trouble.

Sorry for the rant. I was in the way of one of the yahoos several years ago and feel lucky to have survived. Was driving a car in the outside lane of I-95 near Springfield VA. A truck (large well known company) driver pulled into my lane, knocked my car off the road. Driver said he didn't even see my car..... Tore up the car, but I was ok. Shocked by how hard/far a truck can knock a car!

The fewer trucks we have on the road, the better we all will be, in my opinion.

great idea Chuck, remove the trucks from the highway because in your opinion they are dangerous. Heck of a lot more car accidents than truck accidents, remove all the cars too... Right.

After that, try to buy something at the grocery store, or Walmart or anywhere for that matter because all the shelves will be empty.

Got news for you. if you buy it, wear it or drive it, a truck brought it one way or another and that includes the RV you have. I suppose you assume the tooth fairy brings everything...right.... wrong.

So you got knocked off the road. Probably in his blind spot or pacing along beside him for a way.... Tell the truth here, not just your preception of what happened.
