Semi truck drivers..lack of concern ??
Many excellent drivers out there and have safety concerns for others, but I have come across a few AH's from time to time. Most recently crossing the Mississippi River at Memphis the bridge is so old ...

I guess many of the folks on here do not understand aero dynamics. Just watch a nascar race and you will learn something , I am not talking down to anyone. The bridge is very narrow and just adequate for two vehicles but when a semi truck is doing 65 plus and whips out and passes another box doing 55 there will be a force that pushes the vehicle outward , then a suction pulls it back into the truck. Not about being nervous , not about a woman, its about a courtesy of a truck driver. If I'm driving a truck I will gradually overtake a truck towing a trailer so that my wake does not disrupt anyone radically in my wake. I would be concerned that a novice , ie perhaps a gal might over react and cause a spin out . Now wouldn't that be nice.. A tie up on the narrow bridge during rush hour..just what everyone needs to have. Just a little courtesy and understanding how to overtake another vehicle especially on a very narrow corridor with no escape is what I am referencing. Just as in Nascar racing wind and pressures cause vehicle oscillations.Get it, got it.. Hope so !!!
