Driving behind SUVs & Trucks: My Frustration!
Wednesday, December 12th, 2007Okay, now it’s time for ME to tell YOU what’s driving ME crazy!
I am a car driver. I own a four door sedan. I love my car… and I enjoy driving it (most of the time.) But, what really bothers me the most about driving… is driving BEHIND an SUV or Truck. I hate it! I can’t see anything in front of me… and it really drives me crazy! I like to be able to see the road around me and see what lies ahead.
I experience this every day… and believe me, I know there’s nothing that can be done about it. No, I am not a Truck and SUV ”Hater” … I just wish I didn’t get stuck behind them so often! It’s terrible.
I know many people write to me and express their frustrations with tractor trailers… saying they wish Nevada would have a truck lane like in California. A lane that is designated for big rigs… so they stay out of the regular traffic lanes. Nevada has tried to do that in the past… but the Trucker’s Association didn’t allow that to happen.
Listen, everyone has the right to be out on the road and use the highways as long as they are of age and have the proper licensing. Just think, if we didn’t have tractor trailers… we wouldn’t have produce, furniture, etc…. delivered to us from out of town. We need them, and I know many truck drivers work hard, long hours, and it’s a tough job. I can’t imagine driving one of those big trucks, so I give them credit!
So back to my first point… we all have frustrations… many of you dislike the construction congestion…. ME, I dislike driving behind trucks and SUVs. I can sit in traffic, as long as I can see in front of me!
That’s my two cents!
