I understand single lane roads being a hazard because of passing. But I don't see the argument on multi lane highways. Also take in to concideration most of my driving g is done on relaxed rural highway 16 not hectic highway 2. But the hazards on highway 2 are the ones doing 140 swerving through traffic not the guy going 10 under.

I have to disagree with you Brad mixers are no different, and yes I've drin one I ran a tandem tandem for lafarge for 2 years, only time they are an issue is speeding when coming into or off of a merge corner. How many years have you driven truck.
