Diesel truck smoke situation

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I really like WV (born in north cental part of the state and went to WVU). I also like western MD ands the eastern shore. Most drivers are very aware of and senstive to cyclists in both places. But spots like southern Md are bad - one local told me they view cyclists as clay pigeons.

My problem is Maryland is filled with rednecks that think smoking cyclists is a hobby
ok, you don't get to say anything else about any motor vehicle since you're obviously clueless.
