"But Norita Taylor, spokeswoman for the 157,000-member Owner Operator

interactions between vehicles, which increases the likelihood of
crashes," Taylor said."

Understood she's a paid industry spin doctor... but, even so, that rings
true to me given the lack of lane discipline in the USA.

Seemed to me like it was working on the Autobahns I drove on 20 years
ago.... but that was then and this is now.... and then everybody was
playing by the same rules.


Absolutely. I've seen instances where a driver was going the speed
limit and causing problems as others tried to move around them. Trucks
with a 60 mph will cause problems.
