And The Winners Are

Since I am now spending a lot of time driving around, I have decided to make make mention of the worst drivers that I encounter on a regular basis. Today I will only deal with highway driving. There are three types of drivers who qualify in the first category; Fastest drivers. First up in the truck category are the 18 wheelers. These freight bearing monsters come barrel assing down the highway. Most of them are out of aliighnment giving them, that"I'm almost going sideways look." Next up are the armored car brigades. These guys seem to travel in packs, especially on the autopista and they yield to no one.They drive as quickly as possible. Last of the three, and the most consistently driven in a dangerous manner are the Daihatsu Trucks. These must have a pretty rapid acceleration. These trucks being driven by men that don't have their own cars, so the truck becomes their car. Since it becomes their sole mode of getting around the the drivers, at some point, forget that they are trucks and start to treat them like cars. They are quick off the line and never give an inch. All three groups are huge contributors to the air pollution from which we suffer. I came up with a fool proof system to eliminate the smoke from these trucks, I just need someone to implement it. It would be a very simple thing to correct. Just pull over one of these smoke bombs and attach a tube that would run from the exhaust pipe, right into the cabin where the driver sits. I am sure that if the driver had to breathe the foul smoky pollution that he leaves behind he would pull into a shop to correct the problem within 5 minutes.
