If a long rig passes you; give the driver a headlight flash when he is clear so that he will know when to pull in again. Often you will get a curteous double tail light flash as a thankyou.
an interesting observation... drove from Niagara to Etobicoke a few Wednesdays ago.
I think we can all agree that Wednesdays are truck days... it seemed the right lane was just filled with truck after truck after truck. My trip to Etobicoke was uneventful. A short jam up around Oakville and a few jerks driving in the car pool lane. Most offensive drivers: small and full size pickup trucks.
the drive back, no jam up. The traffic wasn't really heavy but looked worse than it was as drivers just spread themselves out in all the lanes. This create various small pockets of clogs. Strangely, I didn't see too many trucks.
Once I cleared the Burlington skyway going home, it was all trucks in the right hand lane. I'll give them credit, they all went about their business. I hit a small pocket of traffic... two trucks in the middle lane, a few in the right. The two trucks were working at passing a few peers but got stuck behind some slow moving idiot (car) in the middle lane how would NOT move. I had to feel for the truckers as they attempted to move between two lanes (kudos for not using the left, because I've seen them use it in frustration) The scene was repeated every 15km as people didn't move back into the far right lane (staying in the middle)... this always created mini jams.
I think if a real crack down on middle lane hogs was done, our highways would all flow so much better!
