It's cars vs. trucks on the PA turnpike, but it's an interesting new take on "sharing" the road:
Pa. Senator Wants Separate Laws For Truck Drivers On Turnpike (http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/news/13406437/detail.html)
Some quotes:
------------
"He wants truck drivers to be limited to the right lane, staying 5 mph under the speed limit."
"That would not be good," said driver Roy Sluk, of Rostraver. "You need to have everything the same. You can't have the four-wheelers going faster than you, because (that's) creating more people passing, and that's bad."
------------
The ironic thing here is that the idea is to make things safer by putting limits on the larger, heavier vehicles. I would love to see the outcry if similar limits were put on cars when on the same road with a cyclist.
