Re: [RC] truck stops vs rest stops - Ed & Wendy Hauser

"....There again, it depends on the circumstances...."

One of my most scary recent experiences happened in the Tendoy, ID area.
The road there is a moderately traveled nice 2 lane.  No problem, until I
came upon  3 large implements of husbandry, with  little space between them,
going about 25 mph.  Because I was pulling a LQ trailer I could not find a
clear enough space to pass all three, and there was not enough space between
to pass one at a time.

This, of course, did not stop suicidal persons from passing all 4 of us in
no passing zones.  After about 20 miles, I finally found a spot where I
could see the road for miles and was able to pass.  What a relief.

The moral is:  If you can't go the speed that the traffic wants to go, you
will find an increased risk of an accident.
