When you have dumptrucks and tractor trailers travelling 70-75mph in a 55 mph zone, something is bound to happen. I had a dumptruck pass me at 70mph yesterday on route 28, and a tractor trailer pass me doing 75mph today on the same route TAILGATING cars at a distance of 5-10 feet (extremely dangerous, see what 5-10 feet is when you park behind vehicles and imaging travelling 75 at that distance!). People WONDER why there has been more large truck accidents lately????
