In October I drove to Florida--I-10. If you didn't do at least 80 the 18-wheelers passed. I haven't a clue what they would do in the event of an emergency in front of them, except jackknife.

Much the same as hardy toll at 6:30 which I take when I ride the bike. If you dont do 90 you will get run over by the smart people in the F-350 diesel doing 90 and sucking up all the oil

For those of you who don't like tailgaters, never drive here in Rio. It's basically a way of life. Even at stoplights cars stop literally bumper to bumper. It's insane
