I hope I can share this uplifting Public Service Announcement on this Forum legally. I just want to publicize it more broadly.
Since we bought our home in HSV 'unexpectedly' last May, I've driven up and down I-81 along the Shenandoah valley many times. I see this phenomenon very often, and it greatly aggravates me & you I'm sure. Of course you can't make an 18-wheeler go any faster than it is capable of on those long hills, but there are stupid, inconsiderate truck drivers as well as many insane car/pick-up drivers... In fact, I was just driving north to MD again on Thurs, and some doofus in a sedan in Tennessee was driving in formation (intentionally I believe) with a heavily laden tractor trailer. After miles stuck behind him, I finally leaned on my pip-squeak Civic's horn to get his attention. He eventually speeded up enuf to allow me to pass on the right (yes, I realize that's not a great idea either)...
Perhaps you can share this link/video with your parents, children, or delusional friends. As Rodney King once said: "Why can't we all just get along?" better on North America's highways & byways.
ENJOY!
