How many of us are surprised time and again that other drivers will hang in your blind spots for miles oblivious to the danger that they put themselves in. I drove truck professionally back in the 70's and saw lots of "things". My DW years ago drove my parents Class C a few times, however I do not believe she has the skills to drive our 20K+ pickup and 5th wheel. She tends to over react to situations on the road, which is not good when towing.
We had a case a few years ago of a 5th wheel heading South in the hammer lane on I-5 in Washington traveling above the towing speed limit and was unable to stop when traffic backed up. He crossed over to the North bond lanes and killed two or three people in a vehicle going the other direction. About 18 months later they gave him a 450 dollar fine for failure to control his vehicle or something similar to that.
Again, lets hear the whole story of this one!
