Your opinion on speed limits

We should just outlaw all big trucks.

Well sh!t Lenny, finally u said something right for a change

Yesterday on our way back from Alberta, every 2nd pass lane traffic got jammed up because of some tard truck driver trying to pass another....

Then the one long pass hill close to Albert pass, there's this truck driver, no load, just empty trailers, no one in front for miles, in the fast lane....


I passed him on the right, got in front, slowed down and went back and forth between the lanes to give him the idea,

Still stayed in the fast lane

Give him the bird and left

What a f tard

I'm considering installing really frigg'n bright LED's on the back of my truck for tailgaters and f-tards like that.

Well that's an interesting thought , cause over the years of driving Ive many times spent well over 30 minutes extra in my day trapped behind a truck that can only make 20 kmh up a 5 mile grade while they did their job. That's kinda like what you mean right ?

So I guess we should ban all trucks from the road, maybe air transportation for all products?

You say "over the years of driving Ive many time spent well over 30 minutes in my day", how about EVERY DAY for the trucker. He has to put up with the sh*t of others EVERY day on the road. You can cry and whine about a truck trying to do his job, but there are 10 times as many light vehicle on the road impeding there progress in so many ways its stupid. One day take your ass out of your head and actually watch what is going on. Cars pulling out infront of a truck on a highway then slowing down, passing them on a hill then riding along at 90 kmh in a 100 zone for miles and miles, vehicles pulling out to pass where it is no where near being safe causing a truck to have to nail his brakes to make room. It takes along time and allot of fuel for a truck to get back up to highway speed once slowed down, but so many passenger vehicles are in such a rush to get to the next Tim Hortons it makes you sick.

I drive about 16,000 km a month...

I would prefer to share the roads with commercial traffic.

I don't have a problem with the big trucks, Smaller vehicles have the ability to pass with ease. There is bad drivers regardless of big or small vehicles, so let's cut em a brake.
I see the crap our trucks deal with every day and Im glad it's not me, but If I see or hear there doing something stupid on the road I'm the first to let em have it.
As for fuel trucks packing maga loads of gas and there going slow.... Good! Don't need to tangle with 20 thousand litres of fuel upside down in the ditch.

I travel hwy 2 between cgy and edm a lot, try to travel 120-125.
my rules:
if you pass me and then slow down and I pass you I don't move over again, you had your chance.
if you come up fast I get out of the way chances are you are long gone, Im happy to have speeders in front of me, others please do the same for me.
truckers, many are aholes but I kind of understand why.
my peaves:
get out and f'n pass if in left lane, driving half a km faster than the other guy makes you an ass.
get off the phone, texting and talking truckers are seriously dangerous.
stop intentionally f'ing with other drivers makes you an ass.
turn off the hid fogs and aim your regular hid's, I know if a douche tough to have them understand.
People who drive like ass hats to go only a short trip, take a relax pill you are going to get there half a minute sooner.
Imo most people are just stupid and don't have clue what they are doing on the roads.

You just about nailed it but we still need to fix arffs coffee and beer problem, perhaps a pone express would work.

I know everybody hates when a heavy truck slowly passes another in a passing lane...please consider this.

At first glance it seems like the passing truck is "barely" faster than the truck that is being passed but once the passing truck gets by they really are much faster once they're over the hill, keep in mind the faster truck may not have another passing lane for an hour or more. How would you like be be slowed up for that long?

I can easily pass any big truck in my 4wheeler without a passing lane, it's not a big deal, big trucks NEED the passing lane, you don't.

Also you must consider when one or more trucks get slowed up along with the 4 wheelers that won't pass, NOBODY can pass because it turns into a parade.
