Truckers nice?! I drove part way from Illinois to Baltimore last fall, after
not having driven a car for three or four years. My shift was
Pennsylvania. I'd never driven on the Pennsylvania Turnpike (or any other
mountanous road, for that matter) before. I came up on a long string of
trucks going between 45 and 50, so I started passing them. (I was
going between 55 and 60.) I ended up moving farther and farther to the
left (4-lanes), and when I started to move right, I found myself
boxed in by many, many big trucks, who had decided to start moving
about 60 or 65, moving out to the left in spite of the signs posted
for trucks to remain in the 2 rightmost lanes. I was scared to death,
and it didn't help that they just honked at me and closed up gaps whenever
I tried to move right. I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO GET TO THE RIGHTMOST
LANE, BUT THEY WOULDN'T MAKE ROOM FOR ME TO GET THERE!!

I took Ohio/Indiana on the trip back.
