Here in Kansas, lots of heavier and bigger vehicles, most of them passes the lighter and smaller vehicles whenever the roads are slippery or covered in snow. It has been like that for over 10 years. That is sure annoying. When I was in high school, I drive a street car that weighs 3250 lb... this one worse memory of all it was snowing pretty bad but I have to return to school which normally takes me three hours... so it should be ONE extra hour to get there with this car I have... Semis and other heavier vehicles passes me twice the speed I am going which is 35 mph even there is over 15 cars on the side of road... including the ones that passed me. This one exact moment, I have to exit to other highway but the problem is the semis made a lot of mess in front of me with all the snow and stuff off the truck making it real hard to see caused me to miss that exit. I had to take other route which should add TWO more hours since I cant find a way to turn around. I end up at friends house 8 hours later after the departing time. Returned to school in the morning.
I see that alot even with SUVs and other vehicles thinking it can do the driver a favor... think twice. I have driven them, and other vehicles.. it is all up to the driver and their skills but there is not much difference among the drivers... once you make one wrong move it is all over. I was like "Hey you dumbf**ks, watch what you doing!, you are putting everybody and yourself in risk, you f***!" Even I drive at what I can do.. passing people with caution and everything... you know lot of people can be stupid.
For New Jersey. that is ridiculous because of Semis. I do understand the dangers, I have witnessed and stayed away from those because you never know..I have seen debris flying off the top. But how can Semis take care of that if it is the law plus how can the tourist or road travelers know this. :roll:
