I hope so too.

I know its popular for Semis to blame Auto drivers for being Morons but there never has been and likely never will be a lack of Morononic 18 wheelers out there. Never fails that on Slushy roads a Semi flies by completely covering your windshield in ice and slush. Truth!!!

Not uncommon to be driving under limit in bad weather with a 4WD truck only to be passed by cars. We had a tow truck pull out a younger lady years back only to hear she was in the ditch again over in the next county again 15 minutes later. Most dangerous part of the job out here is highway traffic I don’t miss that.

Had a state trooper hit north here that last snow. Was out with vehicle some lady swipe him. Can see him in dash cam video start to run then she swiped him. Fortunately he didn't get busted up to bad. Was lucky.
Video is probably out there I seen it on local news. Was I-94 near Menomonee WI.

From what I see nowadays, I’d be surprised if 75% of the over the road drivers could read English. And no, they have never seen snow or inclement weather, dust storms yes….

Coming home yesterday on a four lane highway. Right lane had been plowed, but was still icy. Cars ahead of me were going about 45. So, I did too, which I felt was plenty fast considering conditions. Several semis were passing us in the left lane that had not been plowed yet. Prior to that there were several cars in the ditch that we went by. Scary!

Some of these semi drivers should watch that show Highway Thru He**. Might wake some of them up.
