Truck backup on nb I-75 caused fatal accident

[Rocko]

Suffered one idiot who was lane-hopping all the way from Southfield over the big bridge...trying to get to 90 when traffic was clearly all doing 70. I always enjoy staying with them or slightly ahead, sometimes I wave.

I'm definitely going to wave at the next guy like this I run into....hilarious idea!

On a more serious note, I got stuck in all the truck traffic on Fort between the bridge and Junction today as a result of this accident. The lights would change and the trucks would just clog up more.....sad....unnecessary....ridiculous.

Rocko,

The 'game' is to set your cruise control at exactly the speed limit, and out-maneuver them by watching far ahead in traffic and gauging the flow of the various lanes.

It is usually pretty easy, especially if you know the roads and traffic behavior.


In all honesty, I used to be that one trying to get to 100 mph all the time. This is my very enjoyable penance...LOL!


Cheers

^^^^^ You're brave G. LOL! I find I can rarely set my cruise control in the tri-county area, saving that for long distance driving. I tend to be the person who moves out of the way of the person coming up on me doing 90! And I drive pretty fast... I am amazed at people who try to drive super fast on I-94 with its tendency to 'lock up' at a seconds notice.......

Ha! I knew there was a reason I liked you Gannon. My wife gets annoyed when I do that, but I always feel compelled to do this especially when the other driver seems to be an arrogant type.
