Only time the DW reacts is when some idiot cuts me off and earns a good dose of 153Db train horns.

Bicyclists riding 2 and 3 wide here in the Colorado mountains on the highways, may or may not have tagged 1 or 2. They are supposed to ride single file.

We are a Dodge Ram pulling a 29 ft Laredo. Keeping it normal and cautious. Try to stay in the right lane. Its the darn freeway enterers and exiters that cause us the most grief.

We slow down to let the enterers come on - most speed up and get on smoothly. Its the skeerd ones that come to a full stop cus they are afraid of merging.

We have almost been clipped a few times by ppl speeding up, pulling in front and then doing a sudden exit.

Yes, I don't understand the ones that come to a stop...or essentially force themselves to come to a stop. Just speed up already!

Keep speed under 65, check mirrors often but keep an eye out ahead. Closest we have come to disaster was in Texas when following a woman who decided at the last minute she needed to make a left from our lane. I was not too close but as all know, these things do not stop on a dime. I managed to swerve around her and crowded another vehicle some but no contact. Even though you try to keep adequate distance behind the vehicle you are following, the four-wheelers still pass and cut in front of you. Seems to be worse in the small towns off the Interstate. I drove an 18 wheeler years ago and had the same problem then. I saw another trucker pull alongside on the shoulder and crowd the cars back to the other lane. That helped for a minute or so but you just have to watch out for the fools who don't watch out for themselves.
