[QUOTE="krashdragon, post: 441940, member: 1713"] Earplugs Drink LOTS of water, stay hydrated. Wear something bright. Watch as far ahead on the road as you can..... easier to slow down a few mph when you see an idiot ahead, they're very easy to spot. Passing trucks, two things my truckers buddies say to do 1 stay back until you can see past the truck, then get the heck past them. 2. make sure you've got plenty of room BEFORE you pull back into their lane.... A small car can be totally hidden if it's too close to the front of the truck. Also... if one or two trucks pull out in front of you to pass another truck, just hang back and let them go. They've got a lot more HP but a lot more weight. It also give you an excuse to umm..... excelerate!....<BG> past the trucks.... Have fun. mary [/QUOTE]
