Don't blame the trucker. Most trucks are limited as to how fast they are allowed to go. Not to mention we have to shift through 7 to 9 gears just to get up to 35 mph.
What freaks me out are the 4-wheelers in the newer little cars (Mini Cooper, Smart Car, etc) who think that just because their little roller skate can stop on a dime, the 80,000 pound truck they just cut off and stopped 30 feet ahead of can do the same.
I'm half afraid I'm gonna pull into a truck stop one night, do my walkaround, and find a Smart Car smashed on the grill like a bug.
