Driving in Illinois and passing vehicles with flashing lights

[Ed Fernandez]

I drive a flatbed and do quite a few jobs on both highways and country roads where the speed limit is 50-55 mph and believe me I wish I could grow a pair of eyes in the back of my head(That would come in handy for watching faster cars chasing me in eliminations).More times than not truckers (tractor trailers,tri axle dumps and straight rigs usually give you the courtesy of either slowing down or moving over,unfortunatly not always.The biggest offenders in my experiance are the soccer moms in their SUV's
yakking away on their cell phones.It only takes one incedent to end it all for you.A former driver for my company was killed on the NJ Tpk. last year by a woman with a small kid in an SUV.She rolled it 3 times and went home afterwoods the Towman was waked in a closed coffin,no bull****,true story.We all need to be more attentive when behind the wheel.Just my 2 cents in an over priced world.
