So now, instead of them driving 10-15 over and going 65-70, they are now driving 75-80. And then wonder why there are so many accidents on the interstates involving big rigs. I drive on the interstates every day, I always set my cruise at the speed limit+3mph (68 on most highways). Very, VERY, rarely do i get passed by semi. If you find that your doing the "speed limit" and truckers are often flying past you like your standing still, I might recommend you get your speedometer checked out, because your the person driving 50 in the 65. Regardless of the details of this crash, Any time you are about to enter an intersection, LOOK. even if you have a green light an/or the right of way, there could be a Drunk, or Truck on their way through. The laws of physics always overrule the laws of man. I cannot recommend challenging a big rig, you could get a shiny new car, or a shiny new coffin.
