Driving Like Crazy
Diane Broughton’s letter (Aug. 4) is more revealing than she perhaps intended.
The fact of the matter is, here on the lower I-5, our cops (CHP) give the “maniac” U.S. truckers a very generous pass. It is a rare trucker who obeys the posted (for them) 55-mph speed limit; the miscreants will also ride your bumper, flash headlights, honk horns and, on occasion, will even go around on the left even though one is moving at the speed limit for autos. When there is the inevitable spectacular crash, most, including the media reporting, treat it as an aberration.
