"with toad"??
Who would the "toad" be.......you?


I think the word is "RV'ese" for the little cars the monster RVs tow
behind them, making them even more of an annoyance on the highways. RVs
are among the worst annoyances on the interstates...big, bulky,
sometimes really lousy drivers, and then two of them in front of you
pull into the passing lanes. Even worse on the two or three lane state
roads. There ought to be laws that require them to stay in the right
hand lane, period.

No more an annoyance than a little car towing a big boat. You can tow
it, but can you stop it?

I remember some time ago there was a guy who popped in here wanting to know if it was ok to pull a 20 ft boat with an old Pinto wagon.
That gave me the credeps

I see examples of that on the highway. If I think it's safe to pass
them, I will or I'll fall back and give them plenty of space. Some of
these SUVs on a car chassis with car brakes are the worst offenders.

We see people all the time pulling trailers that are right on the edge
of being out of control. They'll speed up a little, the trailer will
start to sway and fish tail. and then they'll slow back down enough to
maintain control. I call it an accident waiting for a place to
happen.

My other pet peeve is under powered RVs however, and there are quite a
few of them. Either the RV or the driver is unable to maintain a
reasonable speed and they create a rolling road block in the right
lane. Everyone else is forced out into the passing lane which creates
a massive bottleneck on a two lane interstate.
